You have to call around to the places that sell propane. And tanks arent cheap, and it leaves all the maintenance (valves and guage) on you if they break.
I have a good place to lease from. Basically it is like owning a tank. At this place, there is NO annual lease fee, NO minimum per year, or anything. They come out and set the tank, and the ONLY thing that makes it a lease is you have to buy fuel from them. Which is NOT any higher than they sell to owners of tanks. So NO markup for the lease. AND, they are usually always the cheapest on propane of anywhere around.
SO...I have never seen any anvantage to spending $$$$ just to own a tank in my situation. Shop around and you may have a good place near you too.
