I've been reading in several places that the tank exchange places only give you 15lb in a 20lb tank of propane.
The local Home Depot wants $23 for an exchange and 3.6 gallons.
The local U-Haul sold me 4.5 gallons (18.5 lb.) for less than $17.

I take my tanks for filling to the local plumbing supply house. And I watch while being filled. $3.11/gal
ReplyDeleteAren't there any filling places there?
Oops, never mindy question.
ReplyDeletePropane was $3.75 a gallon from the U-Haul I mentioned above.
DeleteThe places I used to go to get it filled all either quit with propane altogether or changed to AmeriGas or Blue Rhino tank exchange. Home Depot is AmeriGas.
Here in West Oz, some government watchdog stepped in to demand a recall of some propane tanks sold by one of the exchange places, BECAUSE THE TANKS WERE OVER-FILLED.
DeleteThe claim was that the tanks created a danger because they are all fitted with pressure relief valves which might cause the release of some of the contents when in use if the tank contains too much liquid (pressurised) propane.
Apparently, the bureaucrats believe that customers getting what they paid for shouldn't be allowed.
We get our tank filled at tractor Supply ($2.99) or Loves (at $WTF) when TS and our local propane supplier is closed.
ReplyDeleteTS is closer to the house and our propane tank supplier is another ten miles away.
ASKED A MAJOR DISTRIBUTOR HOW THEY CAN MAKE ANY MONEY AT BARGAIN BASEMENT PRICES. "We ONLY FILL THE TANKS 2/3-3/4THS FULL." That was 20 years ago...
