Getting More Propane
Need a tank of gas? One option is to try propane exchange. It's easy, fast,
safe, and available at tens of thousands of conveniently located retail
outlets nationwide, which are typically open nights and weekends. You
can purchase a fresh, precision-filled tank or exchange your empty for a
fresh, precision-filled tank. Another option is to have your tank refilled at a
refill station. Be sure to check the hours of operation for the refill station.
