Local was bought out by Amerigas, as I'm told were most others in the area. They know from whom you purchase propane and don't sell to you if you are buying from another location.
If you are dissatisfied with your current supplier for some reason (price, service) and call up an Amerigas service facility they do insist on an appliance check, a hookup visual and replacement/repair if not to their suiting (code?????), and a pressure test at the tank for any leaks. Serial numbers weren't recorded. I'd assume in your case the SN thing was a CYA for them in the event your house burned down due to an appliance and it wasn't the one inspected by them.....like you replaced it after the inspection. Once inspected they leave you alone.
Prices even from the same dealer are all over the place. You have to play their little game to get the best deal which can be as much as 50 cents a gallon cheaper....50 cents a gallon on a 300 gallon fill up (500 gal tank with 100 gal residual) isn't something to sneeze at.
Best to buy your tank used, from 3rd party. I bought a 500 built back in the '50's as I recall and it has a 5% Nickel content making rust almost impossible to accumulate to this day on places where the paint has fallen off. Back then it was mandatory as there was a place on the ID brass plate for Nickle content.
In 2014, I bought a new 250 to power my Generac and it had rust on it when delivered, just sitting on the dealer's lot....The 500 was built in Dallas. The 250 wasn't!!!!!! Being "Politically Correct" here so I don't offend any sensitive viewers.
