if you have your receipt, just take it and the tanks to praxair and explain the deal. they should exchange them for you to the larger tank, and charge you the difference between the medium tank and the large tank with no problem.
even without the receipt, i don't see any problem

I've done just that, it depends on the company as to what you pay in difference when you get it. Some charge for the tank you are getting, others charge for the one you return.

You should just need an oxygen tank that is bigger, I would keep the ones you got in case you have to take them with you in the future, it sucks to handle those big ones, Not to mention when you strap them down you will need some serious straps!! Or at least you should...

My tanks are not huge and I am gonna keep it that way. I do not wanna lug the large ones around. I have the medium ones and they are a chore to load. I keep a few spares so I can change them when they run out.

If I am using a torch to cut something up at two in the morning on a Sunday then it would probably involve alcohol and hiding/destroying evidence. Either way, the best thing that could happen at that point is that I run out of gas...

I have two sets of big-assed tanks that I would love to downsize.....waaaaay too big for my needs.
