I am told the new tanks cannot be over filled but when we first moved here in the middle 80's we had two propane tanks with thehigh collar on them. and on a very hot day all of a sudden we smelled the propane . a neighbor who is a fireman said to open the valve and to shut it back off and we connected it to the grill. that way we could safely burn off the excess. I am also told that propane is heavy enough that if it was in a closed rom you could move it around with a broom. . . Lee
