My brother has a nice grill hooked up to his 1000 gal heating tank., he never runs out of propane and always has outstanding pressure. Did it all himself btw. |

For first timers, I got a full, new tank, 17lbs, for $10. But, I think they've stopped that. Now it'll run me about $22 for a 17lb tank, but they drop it on my front porch or back deck. I could get it somewhat cheaper, but I'd have to drive somewhere to get it. |

Homepage http://pamandgene.tranquilrefuge.net/boating/the_boat/my_boat.htm Forté Agent 6.00 Build 1186 Reply: Not bad for delivered. I have 4 tanks, and just wait until a couple are empty and one is partially used. Put in the pickup and go get filled at the bulk station. Have extras as when the government guy said we had to have a different safety system on the tanks. Was going to cost $40 to get rid of them at the dumps after I bought 2 new tanks. Buddy said they charge a couple bucks extra at HD to trade in an old tank for a legal filled one. Wal-mart was a buck cheaper. So now I rarely have a problem with empty tanks. |

I get the tanks on the travel trailer topped off when necessary at campgrounds. Not all campgrounds have the capability, but in the course of the year at least two or three will be able to fill them. |
