re: Anywhere in Covington area to get propane tank refilled instead of swapped?

If I generally used Blue Rhino, but occasionally filled it at Ace, I have no problem swapping it out when the certification expired. If I buy a tank, always fill it at Ace (or whatever), but then swap it out at Blue Rhino when it goes out of date, that doesn't seem right to me.

When your tank expired, would you stick it under your neighbor's grill and take his unexpired tank? Of course not.

Re-certification requires visually inspecting the tank for dents and corrosion. Check for leaks using soapy water. Stamp the tank with new date - month and year - followed by an E indicating it's been tested and re-certified.

Blue Rhino owns 1000s of tanks they have to re-certify daily as they expire. It's what they do so they can charge $20 for a tank of propane that cost less than $2.50 to fill.

When you go to the end of 190 and go over the big Covington bridge, on your left...Golf Cart World. They fill propane. I've used them twice. Nice people.
