Safety With Depressurizing Propane Tanks

Ok guys, I'm going to pass on a winner here... I advertise the big gas grill tanks on Craigslist for $10. It beats paying $20 to buy a tank from Blue Rhino without a trade. I have no problem turning them over. It all goes back into the garage sale purse... That thing just eats and eats.



Small Coleman propane tanks... Hook them up to a torch head and use it to burn or vent the propane from the tank. Once that is done, tap the tank on concrete and listen for a Boyoyoyoing like it has liquid rolling around in it. If it just goes, "ding!", it is empty. Tap some that have some fuel in them so you are familiar with the difference between one with some liquid and one without. You can also weigh them with an accurate scale. I have then cut the heads off of tanks. I do like the idea of drilling them with a 30-06, though!

I do the same thing >>

Selling Propane Tanks as pictured. I have as many as you need, (up to 6) for $10 each.

These tanks are meant to be brought to exchange for a new full one. A new full tank goes for $60+ at Lowes, Home Depot, Cumberland Farms, Walgreens, etc. (if you don't have one to exchange) BUT, a NEW FULL one is about $20 if you bring a replacement tank. So, you are saving $30 after buying a tank from me!!

Again, my tanks are empty and have no gas remaining!
You save $30 buying my tank, and you will end up with a NEW FULL Tank when go to exchange it.
You pay $20 if you bring a tank to exchange, and you paid $10 for mine for a total cost of $30. If you went to buy one without a tank to exchange, it costs $60! So, you save $30!

Besides Cash, I can accept Credit Cards for payment as well!

Also, please don't ask if I still have the item. If you are reading this ad, then YES, I still have it. I delete my ads when I sell something. Please in your first email, tell me when you might be able to come get it or with any other questions you may have. I am available almost anytime, day or night, with notice for you to pick it up.

Especially with the younger crowd that doesn't carry enough cash to buy a soda let alone have Ten Dollars in their pocket
They use the debit card for everything
