No, it's a horizontal tank. It's what I see mostly around here in the
country - they all look like mine. I don't know if they call it a pig,
though it is expensive to feed here in OK.

We have a 500 gal. tank that use to run the furnace and hot water

There are only two suppliers in the Tampa area that I know of, Hillsboro Gas
and TECO, our electrical utility.
When we moved into this house there was a TECO branded tank on the side of the
house that fed the outdoor oven. I called TECO to see what would be involved
in getting it filled.

The place I buy from charges an extra .20 per gallon for using their tank.
Everybody gets at least .10 for it.

Buy one outright, it will be cheaper in the long run.
We bought the tank that was at the house we built down here, and we saved a
bundle over time. The lease thing is a screw and also prevents you from buying
fuel from another supplier. That was one of the things that helped pay for our
