I have three vertical propane tanks— one that feeds a gas fireplace and two that are joined in a series that powers a generator. I just had one delivery to the single tank followed by another delivery of the dual tanks. I was shocked when the cost was near $100 for each. This must have been a mistake, right?
Then I looked at the gauges of the tanks. They’re all three nearly 100% full. I called the propane company, and they gave me some excuse that sometimes the gauges get frozen and the propane delivery guy said they both were full at 80%, but I’m having hard time believing that in one month we used as much fuel as we use in half a year. They also said there’s no safety concern and any excess pressure will blow off with the safety valve.
Anyone else experience this? I’m mostly concerned with the hazard, but also don’t like being screwed by shady business practices. What kind of recourse can I take if they really did overfill my tanks? What’s the probability that all 3 face gauges are stuck at nearly 100%?

Sounds like they filled your tanks. What’s the issue?
