I do exactly the same as you Paul. It costs me $12 for a delivery and it doesn't matter if the guy is delivering 1 tank or 50 tanks so I get four at a time. I started off renting what they locally (and I think nationally) refer to as a K tank. It's the 280+ CF tank. The cost to fill that tank was $12 for me, but then I discovered that I could fill a tank that they call a T tank (340+ CF) for 2 bucks more and the tank rental was the same. You really do need to run the numbers on this. I'm precisely at the point where it is nearly more efficient for me to switch over to running liquid oxygen. If you are paying out more than $200 a month in oxygen, it's probably cheaper to run Liquid. While liquid sounds like it only belongs at NASA, it's safe and very cost effective. It is amazing how difficult it is for people to get these kinds of basic supply needs met. Good luck
