REALLY you feel this is the right thing to do is stick someone else with YOUR problem. There are lots of other good ideas, or just pay the Darn fee.
Yes, I do because if you knew how the exchange process works, you'll know that if the tank is in good shape, they refurbish it and inspect/re-certify them. If the tanks do not pass, they simply scrape them and reinvest the scrap fee.
If they didn't want my old tank, then they should not take it in the first place. I'm not hiding anything about the fact that it's reached it's 12 year mark.. I'm not one that exchanges when the tank gets empty, so I want a tank with a good 10-11 years of date left on it.
My old tanks work perfectly well, it's just that they reached their 12 year mark and those exchange places are set to refurbish and re-certify.
I think it's a 'win/win' deal for all involved.

Well seeing how you are paying a highly inflated price for the propane, may be cheaper to have certificated, I had one done wasn't that much.
You do know that you don't get 20#/5 gal. in a trade in tank, more like 15#/4gal. :B
