If you don't read the labels, then you are the fool.

As to propane, I know what my empty tank weights. Besides that,
where I have my tanks filled they do not charge a set price for
a tank full. My empty tank is placed on the scale and stays
there until it has been filled. They charge by the weight shown
of their scale. I do geet what I pay for. If your tank isn't
being filled properly then maybe you should buy it elsewhere.

There's nothing decepetive about it. The only problem arises
with higher prices, and I suspect that will always be true and
on the increase.

That is the way I have had my tank filled. Pay by weight of the
propane.

I bet those Blue Rino tanks that you trade in your empty for the
full ones are by some other method. YOu think you get a full
tank, but they only fill it part of the way even counting on that
required 'gas space'. I bet many think the tank is totally full
of the propane, or should be.


Yup. I put up with it because of the convenience. I don't grill
that much and a tank lasts all season and I always have a spare
full tank. Bought one the other day but also told the clerk that
the Blue Rino people were crooks.


When we moved to our co-op we bought 3 brand new empty tanks. We had
them all purged, then filled. The place we go to fills by weight, so
I know we always get full tanks. We use one in our grill, one in a
patio heater, and one for a spare. I hate to run out in the middle
of whatever we're doing, grilling or heating.

I have always been skiptical about the Blue Rino tanks because even
though they may look like new tanks, they often repaint them in their
refurbishing process, and you don't know what age they are. Old
tanks can have inherent flaws or dangers.

That's the reason I started swapping. My old tanks were becoming unsafe
looking.
