If a 20-lb grill tank dies after a patio cookout in Central El Paso, a Westside Mesa weekend, or an I-10 stop near the airport, Maps will often drop you on a locked cage in an H-E-B lot — or on the U-Haul on Dyer that only swaps 20-lb tanks. That cage is an exchange: you leave your cylinder and walk out with a different, prefilled one. A refill is the other product — a certified attendant (or a U-Haul pay-at-pump setup) puts propane into the tank you already own and you pay for gallons added.

This directory is for people in El Paso, Socorro, Horizon / Joe Battle, Clint, and the Desert Blvd west rim who want that refill: U-Haul stations whose pages say tank refill, Tractor Supply stores whose official pages list propane tank refill, Ferrellgas on North Loop in Socorro (published weekday grill-cylinder hours), and West Texas Propane in Clint (company page: refill grill bottles at the yard). It is not a map of every grocery cage in El Paso County, not a Las Cruces 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 on the Socorro page are weekday-only in the block we opened. Sun City U-Haul on Dyer is exchange-only.

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Tank age / damage Station can refuse an out-of-date or damaged cylinder Exchange may take a worn tank and give you another

El Paso-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. H-E-B in Texas is exchange, not refill — do not treat an H-E-B cage pin as a fill stop. Sun City 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.

Verified refill locations (El Paso metro)

Only stations with a public page that describes refill / tank refills / grill cylinder refill / refill of grill bottles (not exchange-only). Hours below are office / store / published fill hours from those pages — propane attendant coverage can be shorter; call ahead. Gallon prices omitted. U-Haul rows below all use the same published office hours unless noted: Mon–Thu 7am–7pm; Fri 7am–8pm; Sat 7am–7pm; Sun 9am–5pm. Those are office hours, not a separate propane-attendant schedule. Las Cruces is a different metro.

Not listed (on purpose): grocery / big-box Blue Rhino–style cages unless a page explicitly says they also refill. H-E-B in Texas is exchange. U-Haul Moving & Storage of Sun City, 10485 Dyer St, El Paso, TX 79924 — location page title is Propane Tank Exchange; services list propane exchange only (no pay-at-pump, no tank refills). AmeriGas, 8918 Gateway Boulevard East — public office page: walk-in service is no longer available / “Please, no walk in traffic.” Hiper Gas (Darrington Rd / hiper-gas.com) — official site is residential/commercial delivery with a published 65-gallon minimum fill; no first-party walk-up grill-cylinder hours + refill language used for a card this pass. Ace Hardware of El Paso, 2200 N Yarbrough Dr — store services list “Propane Refill or Exchange” (generic Ace label; Tucson rule: not treated as refill confirmation). Other El Paso Ace pages (Five Points, Mt. Park, Mission Valley) did not publish a refill-only service this pass. Stale third-party pin 6655 Gateway Blvd E as a U-Haul propane address was not matched to an opened U-Haul refill page (Paisano is 5605 E Paisano). Las Cruces, NM Tractor Supply / U-Haul are a different metro — do not merge. El Paso West / Anthony KOA propane claims on blogs were not confirmed on a first-party KOA page this pass. 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 — including Sun City U-Haul on Dyer and H-E-B lots. Ask for the pump.
  2. 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 Socorro page we opened.
  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. 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?”
