Blue Parrot RV park fills propane tanks too.
I did some research on propane tank refills. It seems that 20 lb tanks hold 20lbs with the required 20%. A couple of years back, some propane exchange companies reduced the amount of propane they put in the tanks so they could keep the price the same when propane prices increased.
