Getting ready for the summer. Had to run around town because even though they exchange empty tanks for full ones at the gas station, they will not sell you a completely new tank.

    When you empty that tank, don’t do a tank swap. You likely have a 20lbs bottle, but when you buy them new or swap at a swap station, they give you a bottle with only 15lbs in it. They all do this.

    How do you beat the system? Get your empty tank refilled. Not only does this cost a fraction of a tank swap, but they’ll fill it all the way up to 20lbs is rated for. Do a google search for propane refill in your area. In my neck of the woods a tank swap is about $26 (getting you 15lbs) while a refill is $16 (and gets you the full 20lbs).

    Lol. Literally ran out of propane yesterday while grilling filet mignon steak. Good in you for staying ahead.
