Click onto the link below, from NBC News 12, regarding new practices by propane suppliers, who are now charging large monthly tank rental fees. Suppliers have always supplied tanks to customers for no additonal expense, as long as they were buying their propane. "Check Your Propane Gas Contracts!!"

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) -
Hot as it is this summer, you probably don't want to think about heating your home this winter, but if you use propane gas or have appliances that need it to work, now is the time to check your contract.
The terms could give you ownership power, or put you at the mercy of the supplier.
When you own the tank, there are no tank fees. The customer is free to check prices and call any company they want to deliver.
If you're leasing, you're locked into one company, unless you can change the contract, or end the business relationship.
"[My tank has] been sitting there since December '02," said Barbara Upshaw.
The propane tank has sat on the other side of Barbara Upshaw's window for ten years without notice from any company until now, discussing a tank rental fee.
Barbara said she bought the tank from Surburban Propane, her original supplier years ago.
"My husband said, 'I don't want any trouble down the road.' They said, 'There will not be any trouble down the road. It belongs to you.' That was in December of '02," said Upshaw.
Trouble arrived in a letter from Revere Gas. Customers like Barbara will be charged $78 a year — a rental fee for not using more propane.
Use more, and Revere Gas will provide you a tank at no cost. It's become standard in the industry, but no less frustrating for customers.
A company-owned tank means it's illegal for another business to deliver gas and the customer is locked into paying that one supplier's price.
"I would check around every year, and I plan to do it this year to see who's more reasonable. I hadn't been buying my propane from Revere, and I didn't have any reason to think I was obligated to them."
Revere Gas said if the customer has a contract to prove tank ownership, they'll honor it. Revere bought Suburban in 2004. It produced a copy of Barbara's contract under Suburban Propane that shows a 'Y' — presumably indicating 'Yes' the tank is company-owned.
Barbara is upset after believing she owned the tank the past 10 years, why is she just now hearing from Revere?
"I think they're trying to get every nickel they can get from anybody on the face of this earth. This is not my bill. I own this."
Neither side is budging.
Revere Gas said it 'realigned' its service areas and is addressing under-utilized tanks. The company has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
If you have an issue with any business, you can file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and the State Division of Consumer Affairs.

BELOW…..
Did you know they dropped the amount of propane they put in their tanks, and raised prices????
Above, view the difference in the amount of propane printed on the two identical sized tanks, both of which are from the tank exchange.
The left tank is new and they only put 15 lb. of propane in the tanks now (Net Weight 15 lb.). The tank on the right is a couple years older (but still in date and in use), and in the past they used to pump 17 lb. of propane into their tanks, which the label shows. (notice the label: Net Weight 17 lb.).
What changed? They simply dropped the amount of propane they pump into each tank, raised prices and changed the label to reflect the drop in the amount of propane they pump in tanks now. To sum it up, the customer pays more, and gets less, if they use a tank exchange. That seems to be the trend with big business these days (pay more and get less), sad to say.
At Waltlou, you pay less and get more propane. Refill your 20 lb. grill tank for just $15.00, with no extra tax or fees included, and get ½ gallon more propane than the tank exchanges pump into their tanks, like the ones pictured above.
