Abstract
A liquefied gas is transfer filled by drawing out a nonazeotropic mixture stored in a first container and containing at least two liquefied gases differing in boiling point as essential components from a liquid phase thereof. The mixture is then transferred filled into a second container. The first container is filled with a supplement liquid or supplement gas in an amount making up for the portion of the capacity of the first container that is equal to the decrease in volume of the liquid phase of the nonazeotropic mixture resulting from transfer filling. The supplement liquid is the liquid phase of the liquefied gas mixture having the same composition as that of the nonazeotropic mixture stored in the first container. The supplement gas is a gaseous phase of a liquefied gas mixture having the same composition as that of the nonazeotropic mixture stored in the first container or a gaseous phase composed of at least one component of the nonazeotropic mixture and containing the component having the lowest boiling point of all of the components of the mixture in a proportion larger than the proportion in the nonazeotropic mixture. Alternatively, the supplement gas may be a compressed gas.
