Being very lazy, but when my BBQ or outdoor heaters need a new bottle of propane, I usually run up to Home Depot and pick up a pretty, freshly painted 5 gallon container. Lately, the prices keep climbing and the containers feel real light. I went to a RV repair facility and had them refill my containers. They are now about 8 pounds heavier and they are full to the top.
I mentioned this to the worker and they confirmed that the propane replacement tanks are purposely filled to only 3/4 full to accommodate all the transporting, heat and delayed usage. I would have paid $42.50 for two new tanks, but these refills only cost me $36.
Anyone else hear this same stuff? Has Home Depot has been ripping me off for years?
