Propane rant just because I'm on a tear tonight

[DrunkenSailor]

Fuck bluerhino and amerigas. With covid I have been doing exchanges instead of filling. I turn the knob off after cooking every time. Tanks are lasting a week Fing over it. Time to switch to ng. Rant over.

Get a fuel level gauge

Got one and I rotate 4 tanks. These last ones have all been shit.

 

[SoCalDave]

Yeah fuk that PP chit, swapped over the Blackstone a couple of weeks ago and now I'm NG on all three devices.

 

[DRYHEAT]

I gave up on exchanging they’re always short filled and a rip off for the amount of gas you get. I always try to get live fills and recertification when needed.

Bluerhino and amerigas fill the bbq tanks ( holds 4.6 when filled, 20 lbs) They are filled to 15 lbs (about 3.5 gallons) Most exchange places are like this.

At 20 bux exchanged, that's $5.71 a gallon
In Kingman, it's a $1.69 a gallon.
Double that in Williams.
I go thru 20 or 30 gallons a month. More in the winter. Natural gas isn't an option for me.

Where are you getting propane in Kingman for $1.69? I may bring my tanks to work and fill them after work I think I paid $2.54 in Havasu the other day.

 

[DrunkenSailor]

Normally go to uhaul or the shell by me that fill my tanks the last few times I've just done exchanges. I have a Weber summit with six burners and it eats but this is stupid. Yeah I'm cooking home more but a new tank every week is retarded. @Melloyellovector it's time to talk about the retaining wall and the built in bar.... What's your schedule look like?

Get the natural gas conversion Quick Connect kit for whatever you're using, drill out the orifice(s) slightly bigger, and enjoy unlimited fuel.

I've been NG for 15 years and I love it, if we have an earthquake an lose NG I can convert back over to propane in about an hour and go grab a tank or 2.

Natural gas is just for you rich folks, I’m just poor old propane white trash.

Sounds like you’re gonna need a bigger tank to hold you over, lol
Slammed, it’s summer and everyone wants their pool built to get kids out of house.

How far is your bbq to pool equipment now? We could tee off the gas line there for temp gas, run line if it’s semi close. Get ng conversion for your Bbq or drill out orifices

Our house is all propane , were on a keep full plan . Just paid $250 for 1/2 a tank

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

You dont get a full tank with Blue Rhino! And pay twice as much!

Stop using them and just get your own tanks filled!

I had to buy a new tank for the Blackstone a while back so I grabbed one from Walmart it's either a Blue Rhino or Amerigas can't remember. Anyway I had it filled at a KOA and it was much heavier than the factory fill it got

This here with all the tank exchanges... the guy delivering tanks told me they are not filled all the way usually around a gallon short or more. Told me to exchange for to new tanks keep them and just have the station refill half the price of a exchange

They definitely make a bundle on those exchanges. The last time I was at Praxair to fill mine up they would only recertify my 7.5 gallon tank I had two 5 Gallon tanks that were out of date they would only exchange, I said no then they asked me if they wanted them “dispose” them. LOL
What a racket.

I refill as well

I have HB propane do mine. They are cheaper and last much longer.

 

[Spudsbud]

If expired Cert date.... (every 5 years?) they need hydroed. Federal law!

 

[ultra26shadow]

Sams sells empty tanks. Brand new it was cheaper to buy and fill myself than buying a exchange from Walmart

 

[rivermobster]

Man I have a BR tank I got at Home Depot. I Q easy at least once or twice a week. It's been on the Q for months.

I'd think you would know right away if it was short filled, those tanks are pretty heavy when they are full. Plus they don't slosh a whole lot when full.

 

[lbhsbz]

I went down to U-haul last week to get my bottle filled...due to COVID, all they are filling is larger tanks...the standard 5 gallon tanks are being exchanged. I brought my lie detector (bathroom scale) and pre-filled tank came out at 34lbs. Tare weight on the tank is listed at 16.6, but I'm seeing a bit over 17lbs with the valve. That comes right to a little less than 4 gallons. Pissed me off, but no other option when the food was half cooked at home.

 

[lbhsbz]

And I finally researched what the stupid wire thing is hanging from a chain on the side of the grill...it's a match holder for when the ignitor takes a crap. Been wondering about that for 10 years. lol.

I’ve been swapping at my local Wal Mart. They have an automated cage, it’s like $14 to swap there, and since it’s automated, I can do the transaction 24/7.

 

[Double Live Gonzo]

I use these guys:

www.cynch.com

They fill the same as Blue Rino, but deliver for free. Just leave the empty tank in the driveway and they come by and do the swap.
