Two ways to top up.
Tank Exchange
The fast option: hand over your empty cylinder and walk out with a full, inspected one. No waiting on a fill. Available at our Cobourg store.
Tank Refill
Keep your own cylinder and have it refilled while you shop at Cobourg or Gilmer’s in Port Hope. You only pay for the propane, and your tank stays your tank. We fill any size, from a 20 lb BBQ tank up to a construction cylinder.
Quick Safety Check
Every tank gets a once-over before it's filled or exchanged: valve condition, visible damage, and the requalification date stamped on the collar. Cylinders past their date can't legally be refilled, but an exchange at Cobourg solves that on the spot.

Getting your tank here safely.
The routine is the same year-round: close the valve, leave the tank outside your vehicle's cabin if you can (upright, secured, windows cracked), and bring it to the service desk in Cobourg or Port Hope.
Not sure if your cylinder is still good? Check the collar: in Canada, propane cylinders must be requalified 10 years from the stamped date. If yours is past due, ask us about exchanging it rather than tossing it.
