Dave, you need to find a different propane vendor-My vendor often times only puts .5 or less gallons in my tank & charges accordingly. Last time I flled, it was about $2.60/gal +-. That said, it is a large propane place, they installed a new Manchester regulator, etc. while I waited, have no problem w/ Westy tanks or valves, & don't do anything but propane related activities. YMMV, Mr. BZ-love the smell of propane in the morning?
