Does SVTP have any propane/LPG/natural gas gurus that can help me? (the ultimate question is at the end, the back story is just below)
The house I bought has a 100 gallon tank for the stove. (A bit much?) The tank is owned by a local propane company. (it's national chain) They recently placed a card on my door saying "Call us in a week or we'll remove our tank."
I call them, and they tell me that the tank is locked (it's not, I've been cooking with my stove) and to remove it they will charge me $48 for inspection/leak testing, $8 HAZMAT fee (to defray the cost of their drivers hazmat certs), and then I have to pay for the 66 gallon credit the previous owners had.
I basically told them to go pound sand. I tried to go national on them, but corporate doesn't seem to care, so I told them to come get thier tank and forget about any payment of any kind. These bumpkins are really ignorant, so I expect to see my yard torn up when they pull the tank.I'll take before and after pictures to cover my butt....
The question: after they take my 100 gallon tank, can I get the Blue Rhino "bbq grill" style tank and hook it up? Propane is a gas that acts like a liquid right? An empty gas line will fill once I hook up a new source or propane yes?
....or am I going to blow up my house?
