Nice, can you move it to your house and use it up?

I just went through the same thing.  I have a 500 gallon propane tank I am paying "rental" on.  I haven't filled it for a couple years, since I use the furnace very little.  So,,,,,,,,,,, I continued to pay the rental fee until it was almost empty, and just purchased a 100 # tank for my cooking stove.  You just have to look at where you can get the most bang for your buck. If you fill it more now to avoid the $125 fee,,, will it just snowball next year??  Then you will have more in the tank, and another $125 bill??

Might be better off to have them empty it, and take the refund on propane now, and cut your losses.

Had the same problem.  I told them i was going to cancell if they didn't waive the fee. I said i was planning to use more propane in the future. This worked for two seasons before they said that was the last waiver they could give me .

Hey Bruey,,,,,,,,, did ya get it moved??  Keep us posted.

When I first had mine set at my new house,, they couldn't get it where I wanted it.  I moved it myself.  Hooked a chain to it, and drug it about 75 feet to where I wanted it originally.  You can't hurt these things.  Now I will be glad when this thing is out of my yard totally.
