Supplier Refueling
Because propane is 270 times more compact as a liquid than as a gas, it
is highly economical to store and transport. Supplier refueling services
use a bobtail truck to deliver propane to customers whenever fuel is
required. This convenient delivery option ensures that customers always
have a reliable propane supply.

Depending on the customer’s
needs and tank size, suppliers may refuel a customer’s propane tank
several times a year. Bobtail drivers are trained and certified to
ensure safe propane transport and dispensing.
Across the United
States, local propane distributors operate 18,000 delivery trucks to
meet the needs of millions of commercial, industrial, agricultural, and
residential customers. These trucks carry approximately 3,000 gallons of
propane per load, pressurized to about 300 pounds per square inch in
tanks that are 20 times more puncture-resistant than gasoline tanks.
Supplier refueling offers the following benefits:
• Dispenses propane fuel into Department of Transportation and American Society of Mechanical Engineers tanks for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural use.
• Delivers fuel only when consumers need it.
• Ensures safe delivery and dispensing of fuel by highly trained bobtail drivers.
• Delivers fuel to any location that has access for a bobtail truck.
• Can service aboveground and underground tanks.
