Cylinder Refill & Exchange in Florida
Find propane cylinder refill and exchange providers across Florida. Compare 68 businesses on fill quality, pricing, and reliability.
Cylinder refill and exchange covers the small propane tanks people use for grills, patio heaters, RV appliances, food trucks, and forklifts, typically the 20 lb barbecue size but also 30 lb and 40 lb tanks used for camping or commercial equipment. A refill means the attendant fills your existing tank by weight at a station, usually on the spot while you wait. An exchange means you hand over your empty tank and take a pre-filled one from a rack, no waiting involved. Both are common at hardware stores, gas stations, garden centers, and dedicated propane dealers throughout the state, from Pensacola down to the Keys.
The two methods matter for your wallet. Refills are filled to the tank's actual capacity (a standard 20 lb tank holds about 4.7 gallons), so you pay only for what you use, which usually works out cheaper per gallon than exchange. Exchange tanks are often filled to a lower factory-set amount and cost more per gallon, but the trade is faster and skips the wait. A good provider should have a current, visible price per gallon or per exchange, a working scale, and staff who check tanks for rust, dents, or expired certification (cylinders need requalification every 12 years from the manufacture date stamped on the collar).
