- Hello: LP tanks have an over fill valve that will vent liquid automatically if the tank is overfilled. You should be fine. As a matter of fact, it is common practice for an LP vendor to fill the tank until liquid flows out of this valve, then he knows the tank is full.hat way if the tank is over filled I get the use of the propane I paid for and don't have to worry about the pressure building up due to heat. Since a tank lasts me several months (as a weekender), a couple of days use does not matter from a full tank.

They look like water butts, but are more expensive due to a powerful filter that cleans the water and have an internal pump in the tank which can drive water powerfully through a hose.
