If a 20-lb grill tank is empty before an I-24 / I-75 trip or a Lookout Mountain cookout, Maps often sends you to a locked cage in a grocery or big-box lot on Brainerd, Gunbarrel, or Highway 153. That cage is usually an exchange: you leave your cylinder and take a different, prefilled one. A refill puts propane into your tank — attendant or pay-at-pump — billed for gallons added.

This page is for Chattanooga, Hixson, Signal Mountain / Red Bank, Ooltewah, Harrison, Soddy-Daisy, Fort Oglethorpe, and Cleveland people who want that refill: U-Haul stations whose location pages say Tank Refills, Tractor Supply stores whose pages list propane tank refill, and Chattanooga Propane stores whose first-party pages list cylinder refills. It is not a downtown-only table, and it is not a price board. Call before you drive. Nashville and Knoxville are different pages. Cleveland is the I-75 collar, not a second stub.

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Tank age / damage Station can refuse an out-of-date or damaged cylinder Exchange may take a worn tank and give you another

Chattanooga-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. Gallon prices on those pages change; omitted from cards. Chattanooga Propane’s home page lists 20–100 lb cylinder refills — confirm walk-up vs delivery before you drive. Monday hours on the Contact page showed a holiday close when checked 2026-09-03; call ahead.

Verified refill locations (Chattanooga metro)

Not listed (on purpose): grocery / big-box Blue Rhino–style cages unless a page explicitly says they also refill. Holston Gases Chattanooga (1105 Stuart St) — propane page titles tank refill and exchange, but the body is bulk delivery, tank install, and forklift exchange cages, not a walk-up BBQ-cylinder how-to; omitted this pass. Tractor Supply Dalton GA #1504 propane-refill service page: not available at this store. Dayton / Rhea County TSC and Dayton Propane (4002 Rhea County Hwy) are another metro. U-Haul Rome GA Shorter Ave is another metro. Live gallon prices change; omitted from cards.

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.
  2. Call ahead. Ask: “Do you refill my tank today, what sizes, and is someone available now?” Chattanooga Propane Monday hours showed a holiday close this pass. Tractor Supply refill depends on staff.
  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. RV / I-24 / I-75. Ask whether they fill RV ASME tanks — U-Haul pages list RVs/campers; TSC and Chattanooga Propane store pages do not state RV fill — call.

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):

From North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services LP-Gas consumer FAQ (plain-language industry practice summary; same DOT/OPD themes) (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.
