Thread: Filling with LPG - when is it "full" full?

Clips are optional, the servo's have ( mostly) got rid of them due to accidents. The regs are that you are to stay close & monitor the filling procedure. If something goes wrong, get rid of that velcro quick time as the Petroluem companies have the best legal people when it comes to sueing..

The servo I fill up at is only brand new so luckilly the equipment is in good order."

All service stations that sell LPG have a supply of gloves under the counter & legally have to provide them if asked. If you burn your hand, it's your fault because you didn't ask.!!

Australia has now surpassed the good old USA as the most litigious society on Earth.

Seems we now live in the world of ambulance-chasers. Sad.
