Propane Tank Refill in Tampa–St. Petersburg, FL (Not Just Exchange Cages)

Tampa Bay spots whose public pages say they refill your cylinder — not Blue Rhino / AmeriGas / grocery exchange-only cages. Orlando–Kissimmee is a separate metro.

21 verified refill locations · no affiliate links · unknown fields stay unknown · call ahead

If a 20-lb grill cylinder is empty in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, or Riverview, the nearest pin is often a locked cage on a beach road or a big-box lot. That cage is usually an exchange: you leave your tank and take a prefilled one. A refill is different — an attendant or a certified pay-at-pump station puts propane into your cylinder and you pay for what goes in.

This page is for people who want a refill: U-Haul propane stations (verify Tank Refills, not Tank Exchange only), Tractor Supply stores that list “propane tank refill,” and LP offices that publish cylinder refill on their own location page. It is not a map of every cage in Hillsborough or Pinellas, not an Orlando dump, and not a price board. Call before you drive; stock, attendant coverage, and tank-size limits change.

How refill differs from exchange

Refill Exchange (cage)
What happens Your tank is filled You leave your tank / take a different one
Billing Usually by the gallon (or weight) for gas added Flat fee per tank
Typical 20-lb fill Filled toward legal capacity (OPD / 80% rules apply) 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Tank age / damage Station can refuse an out-of-date or damaged cylinder Exchange may take a worn tank and give you another

U-Haul Tampa-area location pages that sell refill also pitch that refill is cheaper than exchange and that exchange does not credit leftover propane. Gallon prices on those pages change by location and by day; they are omitted from the cards below.

Verified refill locations (Tampa–St. Petersburg metro)

Only stations with a public page that describes refill (not exchange-only). Hours below are office / store / published retail hours from those pages — propane attendant coverage can be shorter; call ahead. Gallon prices are omitted; they change. Plant City Tractor Supply store hours were not recaptured this pass (official HTML timed out); that row stays hours unknown. Lutz Tractor Supply Sunday hours were not fully captured — Sunday stays unknown.

U-Haul Moving & Storage of Odessa, 14123 State Rd 54, Odessa, FL 33556 — location page is Propane Tank Exchange only. AmeriGas / Wawa cages (e.g. 1760 Hillsborough Ave; 2502 N 50th St) — exchange vending, not refill. AmeriGas office, 5307 E Hanna Ave, Tampa — company page says walk-in service is no longer available. T&N Propane (older RV guides: 2910 W Columbus Dr, Ybor) — no current official public page confirming cylinder fill + hours; third-party guide hours were not copied. Northside Propane, 17602 US Highway 41 N, Lutz — own site publishes address and Mon–Fri 8am–5pm but does not say grill-cylinder / walk-up refill. Lakeland TSC / Orlando TSC / Kissimmee — other metros. Grocery / big-box Blue Rhino–style cages unless a page explicitly says they also refill.

What to check before you drive

  1. Refill ≠ exchange. If the pin is only a cage with a card reader and no attendant fill, you are in exchange territory. Tampa U-Haul city results mix both on one list.
  2. Call ahead. Ask: “Do you refill my tank today, what sizes, and is someone available now?” Store hours ≠ propane attendant hours. Brandon U-Haul tells you to message the store to coordinate pumping at a second street.
  3. Bring the empty (or low) tank you own. Refill keeps your cylinder; exchange swaps it.
  4. Read the collar date. DOT cylinders must be requalified within 12 years of manufacture (then again per method).
  5. Look for OPD. Cylinders up through 40 lb propane capacity generally need an Overfill Prevention Device valve.
  6. Condition matters. Excessive rust/pitting, dents/bulges/cuts, damaged collar/footring, or a bad valve.
  7. Expect a partial “full.” Legal fill leaves vapor space (~80%).
  8. 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?”
