Propane update (because you're dying to know!): Costco wouldn't fill my tank manufactured 04-11. Guy said that it technically expired at the end of March, not April, as per their policy. I had instructed my propane mule parents not to put up a fight since they were willing to get me a new tank and fill on their visit anyway, and they did. And my new tank was manufactured this month, so I'll get the max life out of it. Costco kept the old one too, so that's one less thing to take care of.
I think that I originally acquired that tank years ago from a disgruntled man outside of the Mac's store in my neighbourhood. His daughter was moving out of province, couldn't put it on the moving truck obviously, and Mac's wasn't giving him his deposit back from the Tank Traders program (not sure how that even works). He was annoyed, asked me if I used propane, and said that he's rather me have it than "these bastards in here". It was nearly full too. So it really owes me nothing, that tank.
