Thread: 1lb propane up in price

    I worked at a Turbo gas station on Taunton Road in Oshawa back in the early eighties. My buddy was working the graveyard shift and a propane powered cab drove to the pumps for a fill at around 3am. My buddy was fast asleep in a chair at the till. The cabby was pissed so he filled his cab and left without paying (was caught on the security cam). Problem is he didn't have a P3 and didn't know he had grossly overfilled the tank. He didn't even make it out of the parking lot. The security cam shows him cross the road, then hit his turn signal. The cab explodes in a ball of fire - blows the back window out, peels both rear quarters and blows the rear trunk lid off. Lifts the back of the car a good three feet off the road. I remember the boss said to the cabbie " thanks for using Turbo, and don't worry, there's no charge on the fill" !.

    I've looked into these. Illegal to use in Ontario, I'm just going to lug the 20lb around

    I bought my adapter back in the day when it was SIR not cabelas and I think it's saved me well over a thousand in not buying the 1lb cylinders. Also instead of dragging around that 20lb I also use a 5lb tank I can refill it 4 times for the cost 3 1lb tanks from ctc.

    technically they might be, but how is anyone ever going to know if the one hooked up to my heater is refilled or not?
    You can actually buy refillable 1lbers if you want, but they are pricey as well.

    The difference is those "pricey" ones are made to be refilled.

    I know, that's why I called them "refillable"
