Also - the high temperature in your area will hasten the process, I'd keep the hose in the shade as much as possible as well.

Your tanks will show a higher pressure when hot, this is normal. Up until about 2 PM, my 'tank box' is in direct sunlight, and the tank pressure is usually up around 120 to 125 PSI. In the early evening, once it has had a chance to cool down, the pressure drops to about 100 PSI.

You will see the same think happen with yours - it is normal - propane increases in pressure as it warms up and lowers in pressure when it cools.
