If we are talking 1 fill per year, it's not earth shattering to pay a small premium for convenience.
If you are going thru 10-15 per year, the cost savings starts to matter.

$20?!!! ... in US$ ?!!!! Holy Smokes ... here in Ontario I get my tanks filled at our local Costco - currently $9.99 Cdn ($7.88 US at current exchange rates) for a full 20 lb fill. Tanks are filled by weight and those fills are charged not by what actually may go into the tank but by weight category - i.e. 5 lb fill, 10 lb fill, 20 lb fill, 30 lb fill, etc. If I show up with a 20 lb tank that still has some gas left in it I still pay for a 20 lb fill so obviously I get the best deal if I show up with totally empty tanks. But paying $20 US for a partial fill just for the "convenience"?!! Yikes!! :E

As for the 20's....the fed regulation says no more then 17 lbs in them now because of issues with the OPD floats. That's why the exchanges have gone to 15 lbs. There is no lower fill requirement on the 30's. This per 2 LP dealers and my county health dept that does weights and measures

Are you saying that the 80% fill limit is not mandatory on 30# tanks?

LP portable tanks are VISUALLY recertified for 5 years at propane dealers. My guy does it for free when refilling. They use 20 lb tanks for cost savings since they offer an upgrade to 30 lb.

I noticed that some of the new model trailers are coming with 20 lb propane tanks like the ones they sell at Walmart and other retailers. I can see the convenience of that. Anyone change their tanks to accommodate them instead of the standard 30 pounders?
