	This sounds like the right option to me.  Gives you all
	the control.  Keep the tank on a truck (make one if you 
	must) and have it OUTSIDE the building when the truck
	comes to do the fill.  In fact, try to scrounge several
	of them, and do them all in one shot.  If you have three
	tanks, when two are spent, out they go, fill `em and
	put them back into the queue.  They are for you'r insatiable
	barbeque habit, if you're asked, which you probably will
	not be.  The tanks are outside, the tech can't see the
	other tank IN THE SHOP, *right*? :)  Ask me no questions,
	I'll tell you no lies.  Give them no reason to say "no"
	to you and they will not.  THis way, if your shop blows sky
	high, taking the neighbors on each side of you along
	for the express one-way to St. Peter, they can honestly
	say they had no idea how you were using your tanks.  Just
	make it a point not to blow up and everyone will live
	happily ever after.
