Propane (20 lp) Tank filling price - 2020

You need better standards. Brittany is cute, but not THAT hot. Want her number? (J/K I dont have it anymore. Back when I had trouble getting a hitch installed there due to management incompetence, she gave me her cell to reach the office since they dont answer their desk phones. Oh, and she doesnt answer her texts, so the whole lot of them are worthless IMHO)

But no worries. I figured out Lowes and TSC both have them.

This girl's name was Cassie. I think she's pretty new.

She had to change her name a while back because Cm (no not that CM the other one, Cm!) was stalking her.

Only on INGO can a LP tank filling thread fo three pages. Finally suckered me in to see what all the drama was.
Carry on.

Oh, didn’t read the whole thing but we have a dip tube installed in a 1000 gallon tank, valve, hose and filler connector thingy that we fill small tanks with. Probably don’t get them all the way full but basically free.

Local propane company in frankfort fills them around $13 and exchange at rural king is $15. Gas stations and other convenience stores are $20-$25 for exchange I’ve found.

Necro thread revival. Up to $2.89/gal in Tell City.
Also there is a shortage of new portable tanks. Availability does tend to get a little worse in the winter but this year is bad. We usually have over a dozen to 20 of the 20 lb tanks, 6 to 8 each of the 30 and 40s, and maybe 10 of the 100 pound bigguns. As of yesterday we had 5 20 pound tanks, 3 40s and no 30s or 100 pounders. The biggest manufacturer of tanks in the country shut down one plant this summer and is in the process of closing another, but did open a new plant this past fall that is having a lot of problems getting up to speed.
The propane is easily available, not having any problems getting our dispensing tank filled twice a week.

Good info as I head out to have a couple tanks filled here soon.

I've moved away from using the electric baseboard heat in my shop to only a wall mounted Mr Heater.

The Jury's still out, waiting on the next electric bill, but the last one showed significant lower KWH than last year.

Filled a tank at TSC then did an exchange of an out of date tank. Paid 14.00 at TSC and 15.99 for exchange, TSC filled tank weighed over 37 pounds and the exchange tank just over 32 pounds. The tanks were not identical so there may be some variance there, but the point remains...

The difference is exchanges are not filled full. There is actually a class action running right now because several companies colluded to underfill tanks and not reduce the cost.

I wont bother linking it. In order to participate you have to produce actual invoices/receipts. Who is going to have those? Im sure most dont.

Any idea why the shutdowns?

Any idea why the shutdowns?

What I've heard is they were shut down because they weren't competitive enough and to consolidate production in one place. Grapevine says it was mostly due to union "issues".

Muncie TSC 3.09 yesterday

Currently $15 refill/20lb at Gales Gas in Morgantown.

None at the tractor supply in Mooresville. Stopped in yesterday AM to top off my tanks and they were out. But I was assured the truck was on the way. Called them back and by 3 they still didnt have any. This week they literally are selling it faster than their supplier can deliver it.

I thanked him and assured him I wasnt angry or desperate. I just wanted to top off my tanks. I had enough between the two if I needed them and just didnt want to have to swap tanks if it came to that. I could tell he felt bad telling everyone they were screwed.

Filled some tanks at TSC in Westfield last week for $3.09/gal. One 40lb and three 20lb tanks was $80.01

I had to do an exchange a couple weeks ago(after hours, so went to the gas station). The Blue Rhino exchange tank was manufactured in 6/2020-brand new tank. That one will stay in the refill rotation for another 11 years.
