Just what is involved with filling a new propane tank.

Here are a couple of links for the how and why:

Not mentioned there but something I recall from the past was a
recommendation to put a few ounces (in a 20# tank) of either methanol
or isopropyl alcohol in the tank and slosh it around and pour it out
prior to purging. That will dilute and absorb any moisture present
and result in the bulk of the moisture being removed prior to and
during the purging process.

I think the bottom line on purging is to reduce the potential for
explosions.

I smell a rip off for some reason.

I don't think it is a rip off, but maybe it is not done as often as it
should be for the smaller bottles.
