If a 20-lb grill tank dies after a Bricktown patio night, a Thunder tailgate, an OU weekend in Norman, or a stop across from Tinker, Maps will usually send you to a locked cage on Sooner Road, I-40, or a grocery lot in Edmond. That cage is almost always an exchange: you drop your cylinder and leave with a different, prefilled one — often lighter than a legal fill, and with no credit for gas still in the tank you turned in. A refill is the other product: a certified attendant (or a U-Haul pay-at-pump) puts propane into the tank you already own and bills gallons added.
This directory is for people in Oklahoma City, Midwest City, Edmond, Norman, Moore, Bethany, Piedmont, Choctaw, El Reno, and Guthrie who want that refill — U-Haul stations whose location pages say tank refill, Tractor Supply stores whose official pages (or the Oklahoma store-list propane-refill links) list propane tank refill, and Red Baker’s Moore bottle station (published grill / RV / forklift refills). It is not a map of every cage in Oklahoma County, not a Tulsa dump, and not a price board. Call before you drive. Office hours on a U-Haul door are not a guarantee that the pump is staffed that minute. Edmond and Yukon U-Haul pages on this pass are exchange-only. Red Baker’s published hours are weekday Summer Hours on the refill page — still call.
How refill differs from exchange
Oklahoma City–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 by location and by day; they are omitted from the cards below.
Oklahoma LP-Gas dispenser rules also require cylinders from 4.2 lb through 40 lb propane capacity (vapor service) to have a listed OPD, and Class VI stations fill DOT cylinders by weight unless an NFPA-58 exemption applies. Ask which method the station uses. Several U-Haul stations in this table (39th Expressway, South Sooner, Northwest Expressway, Quail Springs) list both refill and 20-lb exchange — they are refill stops; the cage is a side product, not why they are here. Edmond Broadway and Yukon SW 15th list exchange only and are not in the table.
Verified refill locations (Oklahoma City metro)
Only stations with a public page that describes refill / tank refills / bottle station / propane tank refill (not exchange-only). Hours below are office / store / published fill hours from those pages — propane attendant coverage can be shorter; call ahead. Gallon prices omitted. There is no U-Haul propane Tank Refills location page sitting inside Edmond or Yukon city limits in this pass. Edmond propane-results list points at Quail Springs / Lincoln / Northwest Expressway (Oklahoma City addresses) after the local Broadway pin, which is Tank Exchange. Yukon’s own location page is Tank Exchange. Do not invent an Edmond or Yukon refill street address. Tulsa is a different slug.

U-Haul Moving & Storage Of Edmond, 913 S Broadway / 911 S Broadway St, Edmond, OK 73034 — location page title is Propane Tank Exchange; amenities list propane exchange only (no pay-at-pump, no tank refills).

U-Haul Moving & Storage Of Hefner, 421 W Hefner Rd — truck-rental page this pass lists moving / storage; propane appears only as a generic “other locations” promo, not a Tank Refills location page. Ferrellgas, 17601 South Sunnylane Rd, Norman — first-party page publishes Cylinder Refill Hours (Tue / Fri 9 a.m.–3 p.m. on the table we opened) but the service list is Grill Cylinder Dropoff (“pick it up the next day”), delivery, and forklift — not a published Grill Cylinder Refill bullet, so not a table row. Tractor Supply Mustang (#1160, 201 North Mustang Rd) — store page / Oklahoma list snippet this pass showed trailer rental, not a Propane tank refill heading. Tractor Supply Shawnee (#219) and Purcell (#606) list refill on TSC pages but sit on the far east / south rim and were left off this table (not Tulsa; not invented as OKC street addresses). Hubbiz-only Propane Direct pins (E Reno / N Portland) had no first-party refill page opened. AmeriGas exchange cages omitted.
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 — including Edmond Broadway U-Haul, Yukon SW 15th, and some U-Haul lots that sell both. Ask for the pump.
- Call ahead. Ask: “Do you refill my tank today, what sizes, and is someone available now?” Store hours ≠ propane attendant hours. Red Baker’s published block is weekday Summer Hours.
- 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. Oklahoma LP-Gas dispenser guidance: cylinders 4.2 lb through 40 lb propane capacity (vapor service) generally need a listed Overfill Prevention Device.
- 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%). Oklahoma Class VI stations fill DOT cylinders by weight unless an exemption applies.
- Sizes. Ask about 20 / 30 / 40 / 100 lb and whether they fill RV ASME tanks.
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 Oklahoma LP Gas Administration Dispenser Operator Guide (PDF):
- Cylinders with 4.2 lb through 40 lb propane capacity for vapor service must be equipped with a listed OPD and a fixed maximum liquid level gauge (with listed exemptions, e.g. some forklift / welding cylinders).
- Any cylinder that fails visual-inspection criteria must not be refilled until the condition is corrected.
