When they were phasing out the old tanks, around here, you could take in an
old tank that was out of hydro, and no questions asked, they would give you
a refilled tank with the OPD. I think it was just good business on their
part. I traded in about four old tanks that way. Just walked in, shut up,
paid at the counter, and walked out with the new tanks.

I don't know about the rest of the world, or the US, but here in the NE
US, there is a company called Rhino, that has cylinder exchanges at
almost every supermarket, chain store, beer store, or convenience store,
that takes old tanks and exchanges it for a full tank.

That's the one. I don't know if the clerk knew or didn't care. I sure
didn't care, as I thought I was going to have to buy four new tanks. As I
said, I think they just did it for good business, but after a time, I'm sure
they wouldn't take any more. By then, I had all mine changed out.

I suspect when these new tanks/valves are old and new technology comes
out they will also accept these current tanks.
At (Eastern and Serene ?) HD these tanks are in cages with ATM access
24/7; leaving out the clerk. Not sure how if works or even if the ATM
knows I placed and empty tank in the cage. :-/

I was trading them for a while. Then we started using more at the rentals.
I went out one day and couldn't find a station that sold propane that had an
attendant who knew how to pump it. I went to three places. Then I went to
the U Haul at Russell and Stephanie, or right there by the 95 freeway, and
it was about a buck and a quarter a gallon cheaper than any of the other
stations. I'll keep going to that U Haul here in Las Vegas.
Utah is cheaper than that.
