Propane Tank Refill in Tucson, AZ (Not Just Exchange Cages)

Service listed: Propane tank refill. Green Valley / Sahuarita rim of this metro — not Phoenix. No U-Haul refill page of its own on the Green Valley results list this pass (those pins were Tucson addresses).
Not listed (on purpose): grocery / big-box Blue Rhino–style cages unless a page explicitly says they also refill. U-Haul Moving & Storage of Downtown Tucson, 450 N Freeway, Tucson, AZ 85701 — location page title is Propane Tank Exchange; services list propane exchange only (no pay-at-pump, no tank refills). AmeriGas, 2455 W Wetmore Rd — public office page: walk-in service is no longer available. Suburban Propane, 10520 S Nogales Hwy — delivery / tank install; no published grill-cylinder walk-up refill. Tucson-area Ace Hardware pages that only list the generic service “Propane Refill or Exchange” (or Nextdoor copy that says tank exchange) were not treated as refill confirmation this pass. Jill’s Little Store (Sahuarita) appeared on directories as propane refill — no first-party page opened that states refill + street address together, so omitted. Barnett’s Sierra Vista (1498 E Fry Blvd) is a refill shop on the same company page but is not this metro. Servigas / yellow-pages-only pins omitted. Phoenix stations were not merged.
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 Downtown U-Haul on the Freeway 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. Ferrellgas cylinder hours are weekday-only on the page we opened, with a lunch hour.
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%).
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 North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services LP-Gas consumer FAQ (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.
A “full” 20-lb grill cylinder is limited by OPD / expansion space; exchange cabinets often sell lighter net weights than a proper refill.
If a 20-lb grill tank dies after a midtown cookout, a Sunday on the Santa Cruz, or a stop near Davis-Monthan, Maps will usually send you to a locked cage on Oracle, Grant, or Valencia. 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 Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Catalina, Green Valley, Sahuarita, and Vail who want that refill — U-Haul stations whose location pages say tank refill, Tractor Supply stores whose official pages list propane tank refill, Ferrellgas on N Sullinger (published weekday grill-cylinder hours), Barnett’s South Freeway shop, Old Town Horse & Pet on Ajo, and the Tucson KOA refill station (open to the public on the resort’s own blog). It is not a map of every cage in Pima County, not a Phoenix 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. Ferrellgas cylinder hours are weekday-only on that location page, with a published lunch hour. Downtown U-Haul on the Freeway is exchange-only.
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
Tucson-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. Several stations in this table (Grant Rd, Harlan Heights, Davis-Monthan, Ina Rd, Tucson North) list both refill and 20-lb exchange — they are refill stops; the cage is a side product, not why they are here. Downtown Tucson U-Haul lists exchange only and is not in the table. Gallon prices on U-Haul and dealer pages change; they are omitted from the cards below.
