I'm using Amerigas and buy very little propane. Seasonal home with a stove and hot water.

Amerigas grants me the privilege of using their 2 100lb tanks for a lovely $72.00 per year rental fee. I suspect I can do a lot better buying my own 2 tanks but am wondering what other laws or requirements I would face with my own tanks.
Close to 20 years and changed companies 3 times and right now back to the first company. I use my 2 200 gallon tanks for complete house generator and only the generator. I have them come every October to fill it and last year was a great year as the bill was for only $63.28. (Mostly for weekly run time of 12 minutes each) I do have my tanks certified every 10 years which most all the gas companies do not do. I have the company that I'm using to supply the gas for doing the certifying just before filling time and so far at no charge.
