Yes, this is how bulk tanks works and if you rent the tank from them. It works the same if you own your tank but you don't pay the rental fee and you have to maintained your own tank. The gas cost a little more if you own your own tank. That is because they are not getting the rental fee and you are not tied to one gas company.

If you have one of those, they will come to the house to fill it. They fill it about 85 percent to allow for expansion. I had mine setup to be filled every three months automatically. They charged $7.29 per month for the use of the tank and they maintained it. Maybe a company in yur area has a similar system.
