Many Sheetz stores have an outdoor propane cage where you can swap an empty grill tank for a full one.

How propane exchange works

  1. Bring your empty 20 lb tank (the standard grill size).
  2. Pay inside and tell the cashier you're exchanging or buying a tank.
  3. A staff member unlocks the cage, takes your empty and hands you a full one.

Exchange vs buying a new tank

An exchange costs less than buying a new tank because you're paying only for the propane. If you don't have a tank to trade, you can usually buy one with propane included for a higher price. Exchange tanks are often filled to about 15 lb rather than 20 lb, which is standard across exchange brands.

Safety tips

  • Transport tanks upright and secured, with a window open.
  • Don't leave a tank in a hot car.
  • Check the valve with soapy water for leaks after connecting it to your grill.
