Assuming you were serious about not realizing that they use a float arm
to shut off the inlet passage when the liquid propane reaches the safe
"full" level, now do you see why I questioned whether they work if the
tank being filled is lying on it's (wrong) side?


Yeah. I would think one could get past the valve that way. I thought
about mentioning that but I figured a more convincing agreement on the
matter would come from someone who didn't look like a jester. grin.
