    LPG tank capacity ...

    I filled up the old Rangey a few days ago .... It's never taken more than 68litres.... So you can imagine my surprise when I look up and notice it's taken nearly 80litres (79.xx) and is still filling .... I'm guessing if I get more than 180kms from the tanks before they are empty, one the valves I hear "thud" and shut off the filling of the tanks has failed, so it's allowing it to fill to 100% ?

    Has anyone struck this problem before ? ( More likely is the pump is in-accurate and I just paid $50 for $20 worth LPG, after all the LPG gauge says it's 50% full... I don't trust any LPG gauge as far as I can throw it though).

    seeya,

    My tank used to do that on occasion...I suspect some type of shut off valve was faulty, so I would keep and eye on it and stop the pump, as one doesn't want the tank at 100% I would assume!
