[TheForge] Propane Users tank sizes and usage

[Jerry Frost]

We have a 100gl tank for the kitchen range and they 
fill it a couple times a year. They used to come out 
every couple months till we told them to hold off. If 
you buy more than 30-40gl. (I think, I haven't looked 
in a couple years) there's a further discount. If we 
were to call them out on a small quantity they'd charge 
for delivery, not otherwise.

Anyway, having a large tank and having propane 
delivered is significantly (20-25%) cheaper than going 
down to their yard and filling smaller tanks. There's 
no tank rental either, they inspect it annually for no 
charge and the insurance co. gives a break for having 
it professionally installed, inspected, maintained, 
etc. It's all round more economical to let the supplier 
install a tank, fill and maintain it.

Here anyway, your local may be different.
