They don't have prices. I can buy 33# for $18 and change..... are
they close?

Empty tank is 18lbs. Add 15lbs of propane to get your 33 lbs.

Aren't the tanks called 20lb tanks because that is their capacity, the
amount of propane that they can be filled with. But, nobody every fills
them to rated capacity.

Many years ago, you'd take a 20# tank to the guy at the local hardware
store, he'd set it on a beam scale, adjusted it to zero out with the
tank on, start filling, quit filling when he got 20# in it.
