LPG filling stations fit forklift tank filler valve threads (1-3/4 ACME) not standard 20lb BBQ tanks threads. The 20lb BBQ threads are male 1-5/16″ ACME (OPD) threads, however most adaptors fit on the inside like this device designed to refill 1lb tanks from a standard 20lb:
Where can an adapter be found to simulate a forklift tank filler valve?

Just another question where OP's location may be of help. I know of somewhere in UK that probably makes just what you need.– TimFeb 4 at 15:11

If I understand correctly you want to adapt a 1" P.O.L. to a 1-3/4 ACME so that you can fill your BBQ propane tank with a different connector.
In that case you'd want something like this.

If you do get something like this, make sure it comes preassembled, or assemble carefully with yellow teflon or propane rated pipe dope.

1You are right, The 1" POL end fits inside and the 1-3/4" ACME is the Forklift tank threads. 1-5/16″ ACME (OPD) is what a standard BBQ has.– DaleJan 19, 2016 at 18:56
