It won't go in because the bleeder valve isn't open. It must be open all the way, and when the propane which is being shot into the tank starts to come out the bleeder hole it's full. Quickly tighten the valve again (don't get frostbite from the gas, wear gloves!!) and you're done!! If the gas blows out from the bleeder hole after you've tightened the valve...you're gaskets are bad. All your gas may leak out, BE CAREFUL NOT TO IGNITE IT!!!! Unless you want it to become a flame thrower. But this is another story....
