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 Out of date tanks I usta pay fifty cents at yard sales unless they seemed to be full in which case I might go five bucks.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. |
