Filling with gasoline isn't dangerous?? I purchased 3 new 25lb tanks a couple of years ago because my old tanks were illegal, not those new tanks are illegal. I think the LP companies have some good lobyist.

U can gravity fill the tank from the big tank by venting off the tractor tank. Be sure you don't fill the tank more than about 3/4 full of liquid. Gas has to have room to expand or you will get to see if the popoff works. Use common sense, don't smoke, rub two sticks together, or anything stupid while you are filling it. Maybe you can be lucky enough to find an oldtimer working for a LP company and ask his advise and get help with the hoses and fittings. The new guys are going to be too wrapped up into the legalities of everything. The old valves are dangerous, they just needed to sell some new ones. There are thousands of 30+ year old tanks in this part of the US still using the "dangerous" and "illegal" valves without a single failer.
