Eastern Propane Rental Charge

Steel is the material of choice for high pressure tanks. Pressure inside a propane tank ranges from 100 to 200 psig. 200 is the MAWP (maximum allowable working pressure). Above 250 psig a pressure relief valve would start venting to protect the tank from catastrophic failure.

They try to gouge the customer.....and it frequently works for them. A bit of gentle pushback from you the customer worked. Good for you!
