You guys fill your old tanks in the US? I know a few places that still fill tanks here but not many.Huh. One of my tanks is from 1991, they still fill it.
I paid 89.9 cents for my semi-annual fill on 12/18. At that price I really should turn off the electric heat and burn propane
Agree. As much as it is nice to burn wood, your time is worth something too.Hard to justify running it at that price though.

We have a tank swap out program that every time you bring an empty one in, they give out a new tank filled.
It's been like that here in Canada for over ten years now. I don't think it's always necessary myself, but hey.

Lots of discount places never fill a 20 lb propane tank to capacity. They usually always put in less than 4 gallons, so the tank is not really filled. Propane averages 4.15 lb per gallon. If the receipt says 3.7 gallons, that means you received 15.4 pounds.Many places will refill.
I've done the tank swap at Walmart and judging by the hours of usage, I don't believe they give you a "full" tank compared to getting it filled from a local vendor.
All the places near me use a scale to fill LP tanks.Lots of discount places never fill a 20 lb propane tank to capacity.

I suppose the tank could have had residual propane inside, so to measure what you have on board, you can weigh the tank before you have it filled and then weigh it again after the "fill up". Then you can calculate exactly what was added inside the tank. Many bathroom scales these days are accurate to a tenth of a pound.
Good point and I pondered that too once or twice.Many places will refill.
