Most of the "blue rhino" and other pre-filled exchange cylinders are only filled with less than 4 gallons (15#). They charge you more than getting the cylinder refilled, and you get less propane.
You can usually take the cylinder, take the label off, and get it filled as if it's your own.
You don't even have to remove the label. You are not renting the tank, you now own it. The guy (or gal) filling the tank doesn't care whose label is on it.
While that is factually correct, I have personally observed someone bringing a trade-in cylinder to a fill place, and the filler refused to fill it because of the label. His boss had told him not to fill them (no reason provided), so he wouldn't. If you take the label off, it prevents anything like that.
Yes. You run into ignorant a**holes in every business.
I have a daughter who is a board certified cardiologist. She went into a Walgreens in her home town one day to buy some Claritin-D for her sinuses. The pharmacist refused to sell it to her.
And I say this even though I, also, am a Walgreens pharmacist. That is exactly what I told her when she called me as mad as a wet hen.
