I disconnected the tank and rolled it to the curb where it sat for a month. They finally came and got it. I spoke to the ex and told her that they should be refunding her for the unused gas. So I just heard from her that they sent her an invoice for $300.
I didn't follow up. but the company are assholes.

The tank I have is supplied by the company I used to have an account with until it was transferred to my ex's name during my hejira. The company wanted a $300 deposit that they keep for the life of the account (no interest) plus $180 to fill the tank and another $40/year for tank rental.
I told them to go pound salt, and I'm off to go buy a 100# tank and regulator, which kind of sucks because I had two of them several years ago and gave them away.
So they came and locked out the tank yesterday and I'm like, seriously? I've never even seen a lockout like that and I can see all I need is a small piece of pipe or a dowel to remove it.
I don't really feel like making the drive tonight to Lowe's, but tomorrow is busy. If it wasn't such a time suck I'd transfer the gas to the new tank.

I'm back with the tank and regulator. Tomorrow I'll switch it over. I only use it for cooking and the dryer.
