My Uncle gave me his old Tank top heater. I was looking but could not find a 5 or 10 tank for it I could pull a 20 and it would take less fill ups but it weigh more and take up more space in the tent. Where can I get odd sized tanks? I'm not sure on the model but it is a mr buddy.

Canadian Tire has a few different sizes.

And be prepared to pay twice the cost for a tank half the size of a 20.

Yes canadian tire has them. When I was buying a heater before christmas I was looking at what sizes of tanks that I could get for it and they had a bunch of different sizes.

It was free for the recertification?

Guys,

Make sure that the "new" tank was recertified. Some are just repainted and resold.
Some of the "new" tanks may not be stale dated but might only have a short time left till they are.
Check the date!
