I have been advised by propane persons that the propane companies do not own any of the tanks. That all tanks are rented/leased from a 3rd company.

Those fees to the propane companies have gone up therefore the costs are being transferred to the end user - the homeowner.

I own my own 500 gallon tanks. Purchased years ago. May not be cost effective to purchase your own tank. As cost of tank is quite high. Depending on size. Tanks at that time were purchased new or refurbished.

But would love to hear from others who have purchased their propane tanks.
Who did you purchase from and how much did you pay for tank. And any installation fees.
