Just tried to fill one of mine this past weekend. Typical of my luck, the tank was dated 11/02, which put it exactly one day beyond the allowable refill date without recertification. As we were out of town camping, and this propane refill center refused to refill my tank, I made a few calls and was surprised to find that a Tractor Supply store (TSC) exchanges 30# tanks. Cost me around 47 bucks, but I figured a recert and fill of my old tank wouldn't have been much less.
I hadn't considered TSC. We have one maybe 30 minutes away. I will call them. I would love to do an exchange, especially for the price you paid. According to their web site, a new tank is $70, but that doesn't include the propane. That's cheaper than some other places I have seen, though. Their web site says they refill by the gallon, but it doesn't mention exchanges. Thanks for the tip.
