Default Kerosene -- and now, portable propane talk

Thanks for the field report. I, also, have heard of tanks being
underfilled at the Blue Rhino exchange. I think it's absurd that a 20
pound tank should be designed to take 16 pounds. Should be called a 16
pounder, instead.

I'd be upset if I went to the grocery. Bought a pound of meat, and
came home with 13 ounces. Because they didn't want to overfill the
styrofoam tray.

It's about a dollar a pound for gas
grill tanks, they actually fill more like 16 pounds per tank. The 16
ouncers are $2.50 or so at Walmart. As high as 3.49 in other stores.


The 20-lb propane tanks I have are marked (on the tank, not a label)
"16.6lb". One came filled with 15lb, the other says 17lb (I think it's
either 16.6 or 17).
