family issues aside if you didn't contact them, sign anything, etc you were just a place for delivery then as far as they and the origional propane seller is concerned you can't be held liable for the debt.
If your dad bought you a car when you were 16 and he didn't pay back the car loan they can't attack you or your credit (granted they could repo the car but they can't put anything on your credit just because you took delivery).
you paid your dad and if your not super close then I'd say 'let it be his problem' send DV letters and if anything ever shows up on your report dispute it saying you took delivery of propane that was under your fathers name - whats saying your not a tennant and your father was the landlord?

Nobody else is going to bring you any, either. Who owns the tank? At least here, all the companies will check with others before letting you switch companies...
Its not that simple and depending on your state this may not be true. Check to see if your state has a legal principle of "unjust enrichment." Legal Def. There are circumstances in which you maybe responsible for reimbursement of the amount of propane that you used. I recommend you contact a local attorney to protect yourself in this instance.
