Great Value, Perfect Size

Great price and a perfect mid-size tank that’s still very portable. The 40 pound tanks are a challenge to lift and load into the back seat foot space of a passenger car, or SUV for that matter. This 30 pound tank obviously gives you greater capacity over the standard 20… The tank arrived without any visible damage to the shipping box, and I visited Tractor Supply for propane.

Ordered multi pack got one

The web page with the tanks says multipack, then gives options for one two or three. One tank is not a multi pack. For me, instead of getting two tanks for a good price, I got one tank for $20 more than average price of $70. The tanks are presently on Ebay for $60

Good purchase and process. Only, not easy to refil

It is as promised. Delivery was very easy. All checked out. Only headache in this time of the virus is, since the tank is shipped without gas, where to find a refill. I can not seem to find a place that exchanges this FlameKing. All over the place I see only BlueSomething. Including Walmart. Secondly, Walmart did not have the 30lb ones. I had to give up this 30LB and go for a 12lb I think.

Very satisfied customer.

Propane tanks can only be refilled for 12 years after they have been manufactured. (The manufacturing date is stamped on the collar of the propane tank.). Then they need to be re-certified. Re-certified propane tanks are only good for another two or five years, depending on the type of re-certification that is performed. And the cost of re-certification is equal to the cost of purchasing a new propane tank. So it makes more sense to purchase a new propane tank than to re-certify an old one. My propane tanks were getting close to being 12 years old. So I elected to purchase new propane tanks instead of re-certifying my old ones. I compared prices from various vendors and I found that Walmart had the lowest price. So I purchased (4.) new, empty, 20 pound propane tanks from Walmart. FedEx delivered them to my front door. So, if you are in the market for a propane tank, I'd suggest you see what Walmart has to offer before you spend your money elsewhere.

Leaking Tank Upon Arrival

I purchased these tanks as a backup for my travel trailer and dual fuel generator for when I go dry camping. I received 1 of 2 packages and still waiting on a single tank to be delivered. As soon as I had time I went and had the tanks filled. Got back home and I could smell propane coming from the truck bed. I tried tightening the bleed screw to make sure that wasnt the issue. I then went and got some soap and water to see if I could see it and I found it. Leaving from the top of the tank and now I am just wasting propane. I still want my tank but not one that is going to leak.

Good Quality Item If You Can Get It Delivered

They seem to have a problem getting these orders to customers. Initially I ordered three tanks, I never received them. After going round a bit I was refunded for the full price. I reordered the tanks again, received one, not three. I am now trying again to get the other tanks sent or a refund.

Poor Packaging Practices

I ordered two cylinders, both of them were packed poorly and both exhibited damage during shipment. One had a dent in the side and the support ring on the bottom was bent. The other had the powder coating rubbed of from vibration. Zero internal packaging material was inside of the box other than a thin layer of bubble wrap around the tank. A little internal packaging material would have prevented all of the damage and would have not warranted replacement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything about the tank I bought was fine but a little pricey for a person living on ssi , but I am buying 1 more next month when I save the money before it really gets to cold up here in the mountains.

This is my 2nd tank and no issues

Unlike other stores Walmart.com hasn’t raised the price on this. This makes my second tank for my generator. 30 lbs. lets it run for about 12 hrs. It’s a 13Kw generator and I have a deep freezer and 3 refrigerators, 2 window shakers and a couple of fans with the tv (DIRECTV) all on. Probably a 35-40% load. And when I run out of propane it runs on gasoline. I will acquire more in the future or maybe go larger in size. These are pre-tested so you won’t have any issues when you get it filled.
