I don’t know about anyone else but I’m learning a bunch from this thread. I didn’t know you paid more by swapping tanks. I guess it makes sense but I didn’t know it. Do the tank swapping companies keep the 10 under the 10 year certification limit?
Yes, the exchange places only have tanks with 15 lbs. rather than 20 lbs. Rhino started this a few years ago as a money grab, and now they all do it. There is a local filler here who will try to tell you that it isn't legal, or safe, to fill them past 15 lbs.! Just a simple money grab, as he charges by the fill, and not by the gallon. Total ripoff.
