The exchange program did not work well for me.
I exchanged for an almost new tank.
When I used it only half of the gas would dispense.
The rest was trapped in the canister.
I still have it under my carport.

I believe that all portable propane tanks now have an "internal safety valve" that stops or reduces the flow of propane if the tank valve is not opened SLOWLY.
BTW, if/when that "internal safety valve" malfunctions no gas will come out.
I have found that disconnecting the tank and rolling it on it's side will restore it to working condition.
That may sound crazy but it has worked for me more than once.
