Please consider ditching the use of the adjustable pliers as a safety measure.

In the LP gas industry the correct procedure would be to use a nonferrous brass or aluminum wrench, so that no spark can by created by metal to metal hitting together.

The rubber gasket in the filler valve should allow you to hand tighten the fitting without any wrench at all. Same for unhooking. You may need to use the side of the hose valve for a little extra leverage, but it should never take pliers.

I'm not wanting to pick on you, I would rather have you around to post again however.
