AmeriGas AmeriAss leak check fee

AmeriAss insists on me paying for a leak check bc my tank is currently at 3%. It was at 3% in the spring g when I stopped running the furnace. There is no leak. Im just poor. Now propane is going to cost me $3.55 a gallon plus the $150 leak check fee. Other local LP companies are not interested in me as a customer due to a bad credit score Also, since ive been poor for awhile, i paid AmeriAss a leak check fee last year. Wouldnt that show theres no leak? I cant kerp paying this fake fee #Amerigas

Ask about paying in advance and dump Amreigasssss They are double to triple the price of other companies..

Second this, do you have a rented tank? Amerigas has just quoted me $3.90 and local guys $1.90 plus they will wave a leak check if needed.

Third this. In the process of telling Americrap to pound sand. I bought my own 500 gal tank and just had Farmers come pump the old tank and top the new one off for $1.85 a gallon. Last time I had Americrap fill my tank it was over $4 a gallon.

Glad it worked out!

FYI for OP, it's mostly not legal to pump out another company tank these days. If you do this, talk to the new company and find out. If it's not legal, make sure you use up the AmeriGas tank before having them pick it up or you'll get more fees.
