“Propane Refill vs. Tank Exchange: Why Refilling Saves You Money, Propane, and Hassle”

Both propane tank exchange and refill stations have their pros and cons, but here are the key drawbacks of using an exchange service instead of a refill station:

1. You Get Less Propane

  • Though a propane BBQ tank’s full capacity is 20 lbs., exchange tanks typically contain less
  • We refill your BBQ tank to the full 20 lbs., giving you more propane for less money!

2. Higher Cost Per Pound

  • Exchange tanks are often more expensive per pound compared to refilling
  • Since you’re not getting a full tank, you’re paying more for less propane.

3. No Partial Refills

  • You lose any remaining propane if you exchange a tank that’s not completely empty
  • We allow you to top up a partially used tank.

4. Tank Condition May Vary

  • You might receive an older or more worn-out tank when exchanging
  • With refills, you keep your own tank, ensuring its condition.

When to Use an Exchange:

  • Convenient for quick swaps when you’re in a hurry
  • Good if your tank is old and needs replacing

When to Refill:

  • More cost-effective and gives you a full tank
  • Better if you want to keep your own well-maintained tank.
