Where to exchange 40 lb propane tank
How to get a New 20lb Propane tank for FREE.
all right good morning there YouTube I'm
gonna share a little luck tip that
probably most of you know but I'm
willing to bet some do not obviously
what you're looking at here is a loo
Rhino 20-pound propane tank which like
goes over here to my gas grill that I
use every single night of the week
because I love doing it and there's
another propane tank
I've got about eight of them I'd like to
have about six to eight 20-pound tanks
filled at all times just because they
don't do a damn bit of good empty
however they do get out of date and
there's a number of ways you can fix
that you can go to your local gas store
like we have here in town they so oxygen
acetylene propane all that type of
industrial gases they can recertify them
I think they charge fifteen bucks you
can buy a brand new tank which runs
about forty six dollars and then you
have to fill it or you can do what I do
with my tanks are out of date and I
don't want to mess around a little
yesterday for instance I went down to
Walmart I had to uh out-of-date tanks
and then the cheapest price in town
it's fourteen dollars I make forty eight
cents with this tank exchange and then
over here on the side this the
manufacture date which I tried to fill
it with a magic marker and did a crappy
job but it's Oh for of 2016 so this
tanks got another 11 years on it the new
ones are fairly easy to tell to get a
nice shiny valve on them because they're
usually painted pretty nice so what I do
is my tanks I'll go on a date the
cheapest thing to do is just go down
here and get picked up to know once the
people there don't care I just ask them
to open up the the little prison so
these guys are in and I look around for
them well they're shiny valves and you
generally get a fairly new tank and they
don't care what you give them they just
go back to the gas company the downside
of this is for
18:48 I think I think it was you only
get 15 pounds of propane
so propane weighs approximately 4.2
pounds per gallon so that was about two
roughly 20 pounds so you're getting
about one gallon less propane than you
would if you took this down to like
tractor supply where they do check the
tanks for the dates but they will give
you a full fill on your 20 pound tank
for a roughly twelve dollars depending
on where you are in Texas of course and
they will sell you a brand new propane
tank filled for forty six dollars and
forty eight cents so let's break it down
I got a brand new propane tank for
$14.48 filled I exchanged my worn-out
out-of-date tank which I got on the side
of the road for free so I got a brand
new tank for $14 and change when this
tank gets empty I'll take it to track to
supply probably for the next 11 years if
I live that long and get a fill for 12
bucks apiece and as my other propane
tanks go out a date I do the same thing
so that's just a little tip I hope you
find it interesting or at least amusing
and it's a very economical way to get
free tanks and these companies don't
care they get tanks they get so many
tanks they're tripping over so my point
is why say 40 bucks 46 dollars for a new
tank well you can take your old tank
down here and just exchange it find
yourself a nice shiny top piece brand
new valve and that's an indication that
you got a fairly new tank and again the
dates I stamped right on them and you'll
see some of the other tanks when they're
who repainted and recertified somewhere
else on them they'll have new markings
on them where they stamp the tank and
they just simply recertified and again
as I said your gas company if you have
like Praxair I think that's what we have
out here you can bring the tanks in and
drop them off and when they get around
to it they'll check and recertify them
and stamp them for $15 buck again for
1448 you go down the wally world and get
yourself
filled with propane so there's always
options but I just thought it would show
that's a cheap way to get new 20-pound
propane cylinders and like I said I like
to have six to eight propane cylinders
filled at all times and I've got another
40 pounds over here in the hobo and over
here in my type toy hauler I got another
60 pounds up front to 30 pound bottles
full you just can't have too much fuel I
don't believe especially down here in
hurricane land okay so I hope you
enjoyed that that's a quick tip in a day
I'm up thanks for watching
