Flame King 120 gallon propane tank

Holy cow on prices. I put in a burial 1000 gallon tank 3 years ago. Tank cost me $1,000 plus i paid to install it. Glad i did it when i did. I could only imagine what a 1000 gal tank costs today.

One of our local fuel jobbers just raised the propane tank rental from $60 per year to $160. No clue why, that tank just sits there?

Not feasible to switch out the dryer, water heater and cook stove from propane to electric either since we are paying over $.50 per KWH with these high fuel costs.

Propane tank prices have increased almost 300% in some parts of the US. So if the LP company spends 1200 -1300 to set the steel and there is low usage then they would charge a rental fee to try and recoup the investment they paid for by setting the steel. I would suggest you ask to purchase the existing systems

My 500 lb tank rental is like $40 a year definitely not going to go out and buy one when the rental is so cheap. Just got it filled in Eastern Kansas for $2.39 a gallon. I have a Heat Pump with propane back up and only fill typically once a year.

When we moved here there was a 1000 lb tank really close to the house. I wanted it moved so MFA took that tank, installed me a new 500 lb tank and ran a new line for free. Seemed like a good deal at the time 9 years ago. I certainly didn't need that 1000 lb tank

This was an ancient tank when they set it. I'm thinking that if they want to raise my rent, I'll be demanding a brand new shiny tank.
