I've done both the exchange and refill route and analyized the cost for each option. Turns out they are not much different cost per gallon.
Refill: 4 gallons (16 pounds) for $19.99 = $5.00 per gallon
Exchange: 3.75 gallons (15 pounds) for $17.99 = 4.80 per gallon
I just checked the Blue Rhino label to verify the volume/weight.
Not only is the exhcange a little bit less expensive, it is also more convenient.
Now back on the OP's topic: I'd exchange the out-dated tank for a new one and make sure to select a really nice, clean, new looking tank. Feel free to look at the date stamp before accepting the exchange. I've turned down exchanges before because the tank was older. After all, I still own the tank after the exchange and I want the best I can get!
