Check out Costco. Price for new 20lb tanks there is $39.99 which is $20 less than Lowes & HD. And yes, the Costco tanks are pre-purged. They also have the fuel gauge thingy as well.
Nice.I just found out that one of the last independent hardware stores around here fills to actual gallon used instead of a flat fee.
the “Ferrellgas” place used to, the old guy that was at the counter was great but, I guess he retired. The girls that have replaced him don’t seem to give a hoot.
With used tanks, you have absolutely no way of knowing how that tank was treated by the person who had it before you.
They're worth grabbing just to exchange them. I've exchanged my way up to a brand new tank before and then just kept it and refilled it.Granted, that is a concern. But, clean paint and no dings or scratches, seems like a deal to me. Dents? No go. Scarred tank? Nah, I'll pass. I saw enough tanks that I could afford to be rather choosy. I'll bet the garbage trucks wouldn't want them either. I never saw tanks for more than a couple of days, so someone was making them go awa.
The 20 and 30 lb tanks are not workable with a performer. Also, a 30 lb tank will not work well with a standard Genesis gas grill either.
Bruce, I have a 20# tank hooked up to my performer. I don't move it very often but all I have to do is take off the tank and move them both and then hook up the tank again. Sure beats buying those now expensive small screw on tanks.The 20 and 30 lb tanks are not workable with a performer. Also, a 30 lb tank will not work well with a standard Genesis gas grill either.
