* Craigslist , local want ads , or try the local propane dealer . If
you do buy from one of those refill swap outfits , be sure it's one that
other suppliers can refill . Some of those places use a proprietary
valve that only they can fill - or so I've heard/been told . What I did
was find old non-OPD tanks for nothing or next to it and swap them in
for a newer one . Then refill at the local propane dealer .

I've been refilling at various propane dealers.
How many would you like, Iwould like to clean out the back shed, come
pick up a half dozen for free.
Out of date tanks I usta pay fifty cents at yard sales unless they
seemed to be full in which case I might go five bucks. Drive around
the neighbour hood garbage night and you should get a couple.
Refillers have smartened up and no longer stamp a new date so you
can't get it re-filled at your local supplier and suppliers are
reluctant to sell an uncertified tank enen though it is empty.

I'm in the upper left corner of the country, not far from the
Canadian border.
Road trips ain't what they used to be.

You're probably closer to the north pole than I am, but a little
beyond a day trip to the left of London ON

Hmmm - maybe we can add it to the pilgrimage to Cooper Lake and SW
Virginia. "From here it is not all that much farther."
