[Ansteorra] [CALONTIR] Propane

[Stefan li Rous]

Thank you for this explanation. Hopefully the exchange places are not selling "20 pounds" of propane, but a "full tank" of propane, which may vary depending upon environmental conditions. Still, 25% less seems a lot less that "full", especially if most places that refill your tank are coming close to 20 pounds.

And I, at least, do expect to pay more for an exchange system rather than a simple refill of my own tank, because of the extra costs involved. 

Thank you everyone else for your comments and suggestions. I guess I need to collate some of this into a new Florilegium file for the SCA-CAMPING section. :-)

> Propane is an expandable gas (as the temp goes up it expands) (more pressure) a 20 lb tank never is a "full" 20 lbs no more than 80% ever unless you want bad things to happen so the Praxair is slightly over full and blue rhino are under full. That is way you find some place that refills your tank it will be full and go to blue rhino or Praxair when it needs to be re certified.
