walleyejack Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 Anyone know where one can locate a 5 lb propane tank ? I tried syphoning off my 20lb into the 1 lbers but doesn t seem to work for me. CTC doesn t even have any
irishfield Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 Last year the Richmond Hill CTC had 5 lb tanks on the shelf. Pull up the CTC website and go store to store looking for stock..
Terry Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 I find it works better if the 1lb tank is lower then /below the 20lb tank
walleyejack Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Posted January 11, 2010 I must not be too sharp, CTC does not list 5 lb tanks, 20lb and stuff that goes with them, i will have to go to a store and have them do a search for me.

Jigs_up Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 Check out TSC and Home Hardware. They both carry them locally but it could be a local thing. Cheers
walleyejack Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Posted January 11, 2010 OK . Thanks very much. i searched propane tank, thats why it didn t show. Thanks Terry and Irish
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) I got mine at Home Hardware. 5# Propane Tank Edited January 11, 2010 by DRIFTER_016
Fisherpete Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 All 5 of my local Scarborough CT stores show "in stock" for both the 5lb and 8.8lb tanks... darn, now I have to go and buy one LOL and the hose adapter too... there goes $80+!!!! I looked last year and nobody had any... Oh well, it will pay for itself in one season pretty much... those 1lb tanks are nearly $5 each these days!
Fang Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 saw 5lb tanks a coburg walmart and CTC today
jerdog Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 I got one ordered in (maybe 3 day wait) at the Brooklin Home Hardware. I've seen 8lb'ers at the CT on Taunton but really expensive. Even the regular 5lb'ers are quite a bit more expensive than a regular 20. Good luck.
Jonny Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 What kind of prices are being asked for these five-pounders? I went to the local Superior Propane dealer and they were asking $79 each!

irishfield Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) $45 at CTC.. plus of course a one time purge fee and filling at your local propane dealer.. if you can find one anymore that fills and isn't just a 20lb trade a tank. Edited January 11, 2010 by irishfield
dave524 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 Costco in St Catharines fills 20 pounders for about $5 less than the truck stop or garage here in town. I looked into a small tank, 5 pounder, some time ago ago to run a propane cooking burner on for day trips, more expensive than a 20 pounder They seem to be priced like AAA batteries vs AA, pay more for less.

It all evens out. Think of how many trips to the chiro you won't make because you are lugging a 5# instead of a 20# tank.
PERCHER Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) If you are still looking for 5lber I have one brand new with an 6ft hose for 40.00 Dan Edited January 21, 2010 by Percher
duckdog Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 I got mine here at nippising propane for 34.99 purge and fill was $3 more
leighfns Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 What do you need to get to allow a mr heater to use a 5lb tank? A hose for sure is there anything else?
walleyejack Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Posted January 21, 2010 just a hose thats it, nothing else
PERCHER Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) sold Edited January 21, 2010 by Percher
Uncle Buck Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 Picked up my 8.8lb tank at princess auto for $30... $5 to purge it (one time only) pioneer gas stations are cheapest $7 to fill it - pioneer gas stations are cheapest You need a hose also $15 for 4 ft - lowes sells it the cheapest
Fisherman Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 Ha, picked up my 4 ft hose at Wmart, $15 and had the new 5lb tank purged and filled for $3.49 at Costco.
