Okay now,
Some updates:
I had two main ideas from this thread:
1. The tank is locked, call the Gas company to unlock it.
2. The tank is not locked. Use the gas at your own risk.
I called the gas company and they have no record of locking the tank, they, however, are more then happy to come & assist me, after I get obligated to them in a contract.
The gas in the tank is mine, I bought it from the previous owner upon closing the deal on the house. I am reluctant about signing yet another contract, and if I can just use the gas (which I paid for) and then think about my steps, that'll be the best.
To settle the score, I'll take another, more inclusive set of pictures, including from sides that have not taken yet, and post them.
Along with the gas company stating they have no record of locking the tank and some replies on this thread, I'm tending towards thinking that it is not locked in any way. I will post images later on to help with this decision.
Thank you.
If the tank was locked, You would not have been able to lift the lid.
Your ON/OFF Valve Knob seems to be missing. Or it may use a Gas Valve Key.
Can you take some better pictures , From all sides of the Tank Valve ?
I agree that a contract is not good if they charge you a Maintenance Fee.
I pay $15.00 a month for the Maintenance Fee, and use $5.00 worth of gas in the summer. And they maintain nothing on my property.
Sometimes safety is worth paying for, Or you may not be around to pay for it.
Good Luck.
