Propane Tank Refill and Exchange

When you are hosting an event or just trying to grill your dinner, the last thing you want to encounter is an empty propane tank. When your propane tank starts to get low, it is time to start thinking about an exchange or refill. Explore the benefits of both options below.

Propane Tank Exchange

Using a propane exchange near you can offer a few benefits, including greater convenience and lasting peace of mind.

• A propane tank exchange is a painless process. If you are short on time, this is the route you want to go as it is quick and easy. 
• When you get an exchanged tank, you have the peace of mind that the tank should be safety complaint and not expired.

Propane Tank Refill

Get a propane refill near you at Ace for a more cost-effective option to exchanges. When your existing tank runs empty, you can refill it for less. However, you will want to keep note of expiration dates, as some refill stations won’t allow expired tanks to be refilled. 

Which Propane Tank Size Do You Need?

The most common type of gas container is the propane cylinder, also known as a propane tank. Propane gas cylinders come in many different shapes and sizes. The propane tank size you choose will depend on your heating needs. Here are a few popular options:

• 16-ounce: These small propane tanks are often used to fuel items like tabletop grills and propane torches.
• 20-pound: A popular residential propane cylinder size, a 20lb propane tank is typically used on gas grills, fireplaces and modest household appliances. They hold just under five gallons of propane and are relatively lightweight. 
• 30-pound: Approximately two feet tall, a 30 lb propane tank holds around seven gallons of propane and is easily portable. 
• 100-pound: A good choice for heating devices like gas cooking ranges and indoor fireplaces, a 100lb propane tank holds nearly 25 gallons of propane.

Accessories for Performance and Safety

Stock up on the right propane tank accessories to keep yours properly maintained. Ace offers an extensive line of propane tank accessories, including hoses, adapters, fittings and more.

Propane Hoses

Propane hoses let you connect your propane-based appliances to your propane cylinders. The adapter ends on a propane hose vary in size, so it's important to check for a type that fits your specific tank and appliance. When purchasing a new propane tank hose, look for materials like durable high-quality rubber to help reduce the possibility of gas leaks.

Propane Tank Adapters and Fittings

Like propane hoses, propane tank adapters and fittings are designed to make connections between propane tanks and propane-based appliances. Propane tank fittings are located on each end of propane hoses and adapters allow for connections of smaller propane cylinders to larger sizes. The most common propane tank adapter sizes include acme valves, POL valves and OPD valves.

Propane Regulator Kits

One of the most important components of a propane tank is its propane regulator. Propane regulators control the flow of gas and lower the pressure of the propane tank to the appliance. They serve as safety barriers that help control the flow and distribution of propane gas.
