FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
| Q. |
What
do I do with my old tank? |
| A. |
You can take
your old tank to any Tank Traders® location.
Tank Traders® picks up all old tanks
and recycles them either by reconditioning the tank for resale or
destroying the tank for scrap metal. Do not keep old tanks, and
do not include them with your regular garbage pickup. |
| Q. |
Can
I get a Tank Traders® tank filled at
a regular propane station? |
| A. |
Yes. All Tank
Traders® tanks can be re-filled as normal. |
| Q. |
When
my Tank Traders® tank is empty, do I
have to go to the same store I purchased my original tank from to
trade it for a new full tank? |
| A. |
No. You can
take your empty Tank Traders® tank to
any Tank Traders®
dealer for exchange. |
| Q. |
Will
my Tank Traders® tank be outdated? |
| A. |
Unless you
have not traded your tank for over 10 years you will always have
a currently dated tank each and every time you exchange it for another
pre-filled tank. |
| Q. |
What
if my tank leaks? |
| A. |
On the rare
occasion that your tank leaks, just return it to the dealer you
purchased the tank from and exchange it for another pre-filled Tank
Traders® tank. Far less than 1% of all
Tank Traders® and Vomar tanks ever have
any problems with them. Each Tank Traders®
tank is inspected, washed and/or reconditioned, filled and delivered
by qualified, licensed personnel in accordance with all safety requirements
by Transport Canada. |
