At first the rate of LPG goes in at a reasonable pace, - but then, presumably when the tank is getting full, the pace slows down... right down to a snails pace, or perhaps slower. WHen shall I release the button if I want a full tank? Will it actually let me know it's full by some sort of automated indicator? OR, shall I back off when the fueling pace has slowed significantly?

THanks.

Mine slows down to a snails pace... then eventually stops filling up... - there's no specific indication that it's finished.

Also - sometimes I find it very difficult to separate my lpg adapter from the pump... - they almost get frozen together... - I have marked where the lugs are on the adapter to make it easier, - but it's still a struggle sometimes.

My Range Rover gives a very definite 'farting' noise when it's full. Pretty sure it's the nozzle that generates it or something to do with the filler.

You can't mistake when it's full.

You hear a vibrating noise from the pump and no more gas is pumped. That when you let go of the button.
