Smaller tanks
Has anyone gone from the 33 lb tanks down to the smaller 20 lb tanks? It's so easy to just swap the smaller ones out at just about anywhere.

Save yourself some money just get your tanks recertified. Way cheaper than buying new tanks.
around here that's true for everything but 5 gallon tanks. I've found it's cheaper to buy a new 5 gallon when stores have them on sale than recertifying them. In fact a 5 gallon with a REAL fuel gauge (float based) is less than recertifying a 5 gallon. drop the outdated 5 gallon at one of the tank swap places.
Or even less expensive is to take an expired 5 gallon to one of the tank swap places and swap for a tank that has a long in the future experation date. $20 or so will get you a partially filled tank.
Now, 1 gallon, 2.5 gallon, 7.5 gallon, cheaper to recertify.
