Not listed (on purpose): grocery / big-box Blue Rhino–style cages unless a page explicitly says they also refill. U-Haul Radcliff / Fort Knox, Versailles, and Lexington are other metros. U-Haul Dixie Hwy in Elsmere, KY is Northern Kentucky / Cincinnati, not this table. Live gallon prices change; omitted from cards.
What to check before you drive
Refill ≠ exchange. If the pin is only a cage with a card reader and no attendant fill, you are in exchange territory. Bardstown Rd U-Haul lists refill and exchange — say refill.
Call ahead. Ask: “Do you refill my tank today, what sizes, and is someone available now?” Tractor Supply refill depends on staff.
Bring the empty (or low) tank you own. Refill keeps your cylinder; exchange swaps it.
Read the collar date. DOT cylinders must be requalified within 12 years of manufacture (then again per method).
Look for OPD. Cylinders up through 40 lb propane capacity generally need an Overfill Prevention Device valve.
Condition matters. Excessive rust/pitting, dents/bulges/cuts, damaged collar/footring, or a bad valve.
Expect a partial “full.” Legal fill leaves vapor space (~80%).
RV / Ohio River. Ask whether they fill RV ASME tanks — U-Haul pages list RVs/campers; TSC store pages do not state RV fill (company FAQ says many stores do — call).
Call-ahead script
“Hi — I’m looking to refill my own tank, not exchange. Do you refill today? What sizes? Do you fill RVs? Is someone at the pump now?”
Common rejection rules (cite, don’t invent)
From U.S. DOT / PHMSA consumer guide Is Your Cylinder Safe to Fill? (PDF):
Do not fill cylinders with excessive rust/corrosion/pitting, dents/bulges/cuts/cracks, missing/damaged footring, neckring/collar, or valve cover, or leaking/defective valve or relief device.
Check manufacture / requalification dates; cylinders must be requalified within 12 years of manufacture (then per marking — e.g. “E” visual often means 5 years).
From North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services LP-Gas consumer FAQ (plain-language industry practice summary; same DOT/OPD themes) (page): turn-downs include out-of-date collar, missing required OPD (cylinders up to and including 40 lb), damage/corrosion, loose/damaged collar or foot ring, damaged valve.
If a 20-lb grill tank is empty before a Derby-week cookout or an I-65 / I-64 trip, Maps often sends you to a locked cage in a grocery or big-box lot on Bardstown, Dixie, or Hurstbourne. That cage is usually an exchange: you leave your cylinder and take a different, prefilled one. A refill puts propane into your tank — attendant or pay-at-pump — billed for gallons added.
This page is for Louisville, Jeffersonville, Sellersburg, Mt. Washington, and Shelbyville people who want that refill: U-Haul stations whose location pages say Tank Refills, and Tractor Supply stores whose pages list propane tank refill. Southern Indiana rows sit on this page (Louisville metro), not on Indianapolis. It is not a downtown-only table, and it is not a price board. Call before you drive. Lexington and Radcliff / Fort Knox are other metros.
Often a lighter net weight printed on the cage (commonly ~15 lb — check the cage label)
Larger tanks / RV
Many refill stations handle 30–100 lb and RVs
Usually 20-lb grill cylinders only
Tank age / damage
Station can refuse an out-of-date or damaged cylinder
Exchange may take a worn tank and give you another
Louisville-area U-Haul refill pages state that refilling is cheaper than exchange and that exchange does not credit leftover propane in the tank you turn in. Gallon prices on those pages change; omitted from cards. Bardstown Rd U-Haul also lists 20-lb exchange next to tank refills — ask for refill if that is what you want.
