The venting of vapour from the tank getting filled certainly looks nasty. I'm not real comfortable with the energy contained in those cloud areas between LEL & UEL.
Have to wonder about people who park leaking LP equiment or vent LP from equipment in a poorly ventilated area.
I still can't find some of my refernce material but doesn't a gallon of liquid LP make 200-300 gallons of vapour?
Venting vapour from the tank will boil the liquid LP inside, the vessel temperature will drop and therefore the tank pressure will drop. The chilling would have to be about as significant as the direct mechnical venting?
I would wager that only about 1-4% of the LP gets vented during un-pumped filling?
