Knowing it is easy to forget the simple things, the solution I opted for is low tech and idiot proof. Required, a Sharkbite elbow, a piece of Pex, a PVC elbow and small piece of plastic wrap . Fitted the Sharkbite to the end of the forward vent, connected the Pex and ran under the propane tank. Fill the tank until water runs out of the vent. Turn water off, walk over and place plastic wrap over the end of the Pex and hold it in place by slipping the PVC elbow over the plastic and the PEX. Done! If, during the next tank fill I forget to open the vent, the plastic will give way long before the tank does. From my home base, have to drive down a very steep hill for a couple of miles. Use to loose 10 to 15 gallons. Problem solved.
