What is the difference between a tank exchange and a new pre-filled tank?
We offer 2 tank options: tank exchange and new pre-filled tank.
Tank exchange is for customers who already own a tank and want to swap theirs out for a full tank.
New pre-filled tank is for customers who either don't already have a tank or are simply purchasing an extra spare tank.
*Both options come pre-filled with propane gas.
Where do I leave my tanks?
You can leave your tanks anywhere in a safe, accessible location such as: on your front porch, near the back gate, etc.
At checkout you will see a section titled "instructions for delivery".
There, you can add any special instructions such as: gate codes, requests, and any additional information.
If you are expecting a same -day delivery we recommend leaving your tanks outside immediately after placing your order; this will ensure we don't miss you.
