20 LB Propane Tank Exchange Rip Off

I found a place a few miles away that refills. That will be my go to from now on.

TSC & Ace will refill. You only get charged for what they put in. Nobody fills past 80%. CYA! Kroger exchanges but again you only get 15lbs.

Ace here by my house has a flat fill fee. Not sure how much goes in. Very reasonable compared to some of the prices I have seen on here so I will not complain

Tank exchanges have been short at 15 pounds instead of the full 20 for as long as I can remember. That is why I get my tanks refilled to a full 20 pounds, for less than the exchange price. Around here most exchange places are $22-23 to swap the tank, and a full 20 pound fill at Ace costs me $14.99, give or take. They sell the propane by the gallon there, and you have your choice of the gallon rate of the $14.99 flat fill rate on the tank. Usually I am filling several at varying stages of empty, and the gallon rate works out to my advantage.

I used to go to Costco to refill my tanks (I bought all the tanks empty at Costco), but the one in Huntsville shutdown its propane filling operation. I let my Costco card lapse after that.
