swapping propane tanks
I have searched the forums for this topic and cannot locate any information, so please excuse me if this has already been discussed. I am curious about swapping out empty propane tanks for full ones....

Hmmm, I thought propane tanks could not be filled past 80% anyway? I drive a propane pickup at work and it will not fill past 80%. We were told that was max.
The exchange tanks are 80% of the 80%. Short on gas, long on price.
Stop exchanging and start refilling for best value. Careful of minimum prices to fill that can also cost extra for the small BBQ tanks.
Great statement, a little confusing but true. If one was to figure the true volume of the tank it would be likely be about 8.4 gallons for a 7 gal/30# tank.
