## What we fill

We fill barbecue cylinders and RV, trailer and camper cylinders, plus portable cylinders for tools and equipment.

- 20 lb barbecue cylinders
- 30 and 40 lb RV and trailer cylinders
- Portable cylinders for tools and equipment
- Motorhomes and truck campers: call first so we can plan the fill

## Before you bring it in

For safety, every cylinder is checked before it is filled. Most small cylinders need an overfill prevention device (OPD) valve, recognizable by its triangular handwheel, and a cylinder past its requalification date has to be requalified or replaced before it can be filled. We will tell you if yours needs attention.

- Close the valve and transport the cylinder upright and secured
- Do not leave a filled cylinder in a hot, closed vehicle
- Never store cylinders indoors or in a garage

## Refilling your cylinder

When you refill, you keep your own cylinder and have it filled to its proper level. If your home runs on propane too, the refill trip is a good time to ask the office about delivery, tanks or your account.
