I went and bought my own tank at lowes. I get it refilled/ topped off at the hardware store. At least I know I'm not getting a fricked up tank that's gonna leak or something.

I refill my tanks (I keep 2 in rotation) at Brothers Ace Hardware on Millerville. The tank exchange places fill the tanks about 3/4 full--read the fine print at those sites.

Zachary Tractor aupply is the cheapest.

Use the swap out service to tuen in terrible tanks for a new replacement.


I pull the sticker and paint a two inch stripe around the tank so I know it's mine.

Around here Costco is the cheapest by far for refills. I only swap if my tank is out of date.

It costs me $7-$8 to refill a tank usually. Exchange is $20. Most I paid when prices were up was $12 for the refill.

check the stamped dates on the tanks you swap out. Get one with the most recent date. Some places can be hard asses about re-filling an out of date tank.

I use the old lady on arnold rd. often. KOA and live oak hardware are two more. Heres an example. Last weekend I ran out of gas while cooking. Ran to carters grocery, the closest place, and did a 5 gal swap. 24 dollars with tax. Couple days later I took my 7.5 gal bottle to live oak and they filled it for 19 bucks. If the stamp date is over 10 years they usually wont refill it.

I swap them out when they get a little bit older. Pretty sure they have to be reinspected after 12 years, then frequently thereafter. When they get around 10 years old, I will swap them out then continue refilling the replacement.

Oh yeah? I worked there from 1998 to around 2001 and grew up with Eddie. Did you work for Charlie and Leroy or Steve?
