Propane Tanks Question
We bought our '95 TT 14 months ago. The seller said he thought both 30 lb. propane tanks were empty. Apparently not, because we just ran out of propane this weekend on the one tank we've been using, a...

I just discovered something I didn't know. I had done searches for propane in my area before, but I must have missed this. There is a service in our area called My Propane Butler. Their website is www.mypropanebutler.com. They will deliver a full 30 lb. tank to my house for $37.95, and they will charge a $25 fee since my tank doesn't have the OPD valve. So for $62.95, I can get a full updated (OPD) tank delivered to my door. I don't think that is a bad deal, considering I will be saving some gas driving around (in a gas guzzling Suburban) and time making phone calls. I just leave the empty tank next to the house, and they will exchange it. This sounds like a reasonable deal to me.
I know they may not fill the tank completely full, but I will have a good tank that I can get refilled by the gallon later on. I think I have found my solution.
UPDATE: I ordered this home delivery. With tax, the order was $40.51. The order said $30 fee for no OPD, not $25. So now my total will most likely be $70.51. I'm thinking that is still reasonable.
The standard delivery date is 11/18. That is one week from today. I'm in no hurry, so that works for me. For $9.95, you can get same day service, and for $4.95 you can get next day service.
If you like this idea, maybe there's a service like this in your area.
