Before you decide to use an EV as a towed

not laying down is probably part of regulations, like not hauling acetylene or oxygen tanks horizontally. We were told that several years ago when we exchanged them. Later they just left the exchanged tank with you and went back into building. Might be why you just exchange a propane tank now and they aren't  involved at all in your transport means. Remember back when you weren't permitted to pump your own gas? Except New Jersey now afaik.

LOL when my propane guy comes by every now and then he never checks a tank he just fills it and I pay about 2 bucks a gal when others are charging almost 4 bucks

I have a propane fireplace as backup. When I first set up supply had it on automatic. They charge environmental fee every time they stop, no matter how much they delivered. Since only a fireplace, they would stop and maybe only put in 12 gallons+ plus that fee. They would never top off either, to insure that there was still room to add at next stop. I switched to will call because of that. One thing I must watch now is to not allow to run out. If tank empty when they come, they have to test system for leaks along with the associated fee.

Around here, we exchanged expired ones at a Walmart. Then get the current dated tanks refilled at Tractor Supply or U-haul. They will reject expired ones. Kids at Walmart don't  care.
Also those exchanged tanks aren't  full. They cut back on fill starting a couple years ago when there was a supply shortage. They still haven't gone back.
I've also rid those old style tanks this way.

Same. I went to TSC to refill expired tank. Kid says just go across the street to WM and pay 15 bucks for an exchange, they don't check. Then you can come here to refill. LOL

I told her, look, you took that on when you began to exchange privately owned cylinders instead of refilling them. That was for your convenience so you don't have to track the cylinders by number. You have no idea where the cylinder I originally bought is now. That means that despite my right to title, THIS CYLINDER BELONGS TO YOU. So when it needs inspected you are responsible for that. She really didn't like that so I took my business to the competition who was happy to see me and gave me no grief. Her company will continue it's slow decline without my support.

I totally hear you about the cylinder exchange. I used to fly my airplane up in the nose bleed altitudes (put that turbo to work) when my business was doing better and I refilled the onboard portable cylinder in my hanger and had a very nice pristine looking cylinder in the airplane until I got behind on the certification requirements and wound up with a very beat up one from the oil fields of Wyoming...

I generally paid somewhere between 30-60 dollars for a refill when away from home until I got to Boston (based in Seattle) where it cost me $175.00 a decade ago. Have no idea what it would cost today...
