Over filling LP tanks, what's the real deal?

......and about California, once again you completely missed the analogy....I was illustrating the concept that when you have competing government/regulatory standards, it is often simplier/cheaper to just manufacture your product to meet whatever standard is the highest, knowing then you can sell your product in all relevant markets......make sense yet ?

This isn't a universal truth either! There are plenty of California Highway Patrol Mustangs that can't be sold (or resold) in California. They actually have to dispose of them in another state. Well, what's left of them...

There are many 'muscle' cars being manufactured that can only be sold in California if you pay a special pollution tax.

......dude, there is no 'moron factor' here...wasn't disputing your information at all...that apparently there ARE 2 separate standards......just pointing out it seems completely stupid to me from a business/cost viewpoint to manufacture to two standards, especially when the end user cannot possibly tell the difference...two standards only make sense when you can use the higher standard as a consumer selling point, to justify a higher selling price for 'higher quality'...and not some arcane/arbitrary goverment agency standard.

Again, sorry for mis-reading your post.

If you really think it there are just two standards, you really need to view Faber's data base. I haven't done since I quit handling their line, but I seem to remember it was more like 50 different standards depending on which country was the final destination.

Search posts by me. I've supplied as much REAL info as I care to. I distributed both Faber and Worthington steel cylinders and worked with Worthington's cylinder engineers in the creation of the X series tanks. Everything I posted is the absolute truth. No I heard,I got a friend who, and all the other crap you hear. Everything I posted was from the DOT, OSHA, CGA, AND cylinder engineers.
