With most the charge is a 20 lb fill and you are charged for 20 pounds for anything up to 20 pounds. There was grumbling at the RV place up the street from me last month when they changed their LP fill policy. They no longer fill on saturdays or before 10 am or after 4 pm. Also a "top off" fee of 15 bucks was added. Basically saying your minimum charge is 15 bucks. They added the fee after the huge tie up they were getting because everybody else had put in minimum fill charges and they didnąt have one. You couldnąt even get in to get to the parts section to buy anything. Another place up the road has implemented a "hook up" charge rather than a minimum charge. jimt jimt |
