[QUOTE="BiLL1024, post: 6203921, member: 13084"] I have been doing heating and a/c for 30+ years. I have never seen natural gas in a tank. (Not that I have seen it all) Natural gas is supplied by the local utility co. Pipes under ground. There would also be a meter that the gas goes through so they can charge you. Propane comes in a tank. Sold by the gal. At least thats how it is done here in NY and CT. It is a liquid in the tank, as you use gas, it boils off into a vapor. The vapor goes through the regulator,@ a lower pressure 12 in WC or so Then into your stove, furnace, ect.. Why not keep the big tank? You will run out often, and have to go fill it yourself. That would be a pain in the bum. Shop around for the best price. The tank is theirs, I cant believe they want to charge you to remove it, or test it. Good luck. Bill One thing to think about. Propane tanks are sized to the load. So is you have too small a tank, turn on the 4 burners, and the oven on. (Thanksgiving dinner ) There is not enough room in the tank for the liquid to boil off, the tank can freeze up and you can have a pressure drop, and not have enough gas pressure. Winter it may even be worst. [/QUOTE]
