That is not correct. I know that Rymes owns my tank in Gilford and Eastern Propane owns another tank I have at a different location in Laconia. I spoke with Rymes this morning and they confirmed that they own the tank outright and do not lease it from anyone.
I switched to Rymes about 8 years ago and they purchased my tank from the previous supplier. My understanding is that this happens often. The propane suppliers just make a deal with your old company to buy your tank and associated parts at the time they take it over. They may wish to send someone out to inspect your piping and connections before assuming ownership and liability for it.
