Exchanging or refilling your gas grill tank is easy to do.

Warning
Propane is flammable and hazardous. Do not use or store a cylinder in a garage or other enclosed area.

Step 1: Turn off gas
Turn off the gas on the grill and any external burners.

Step 2: Turn off cylinder value
Turn the cylinder tank valve hand wheel all the way to the right until it is completely closed.

Step 3: Unscrew hose or knob
Unscrew the hose or knob that connects the grill to the tank and remove the tank from the grill.

Tip
Rap on the side of the tank. An empty tank will have an echo. 

Step 4: Transport tank
Transport the tank in a secure, upright, and vertical position to be refilled or exchanged.

Tip
Never allow the tank to be bounced around, and don’t transport more than four tanks at a time.

Step 5: Take empty tank to a propane dealer
Take the empty tank to a propane refueling or exchange dealer to be refilled. 

Step 6: Reconnect
Take your full tank home, reconnect it, and start grilling.

More than two-thirds of all grills are fueled by propane.
