[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 229089, member: 337"] If you leave the valve open then oxygen gets in (no longer under positive propane pressure). If they then fill it with oxygen inside - you have a bomb. Pure propane can't explode. So they have some procedure where they partially fill/purge, partially fill/purge a number of times and the physics of this cycling dictates that not enough oxygen could possibly remain to ignite the tank internally. At least that's what I told myself when I witnessed it one time. [/QUOTE]
