Why Choose Wright-Way Trailers for Your LP Gas Refill?

• Expertise and Safety: Our trained professionals adhere to stringent safety protocols during the refilling process. Propane is a highly flammable gas, and our team ensures that each refill is conducted with the utmost care, following industry best practices to prevent leaks and overfilling

• Convenience: Located at 1100 N Center Point Rd, Hiawatha, IA 52233, our facility is easily accessible for residents in Cedar Rapids and the surrounding areas. We offer prompt service to get you back on the road or power your appliances without unnecessary delays.
• Comprehensive Inspection: Before refilling, we conduct a thorough inspection of your propane tank. This includes checking for dents, rust, or other damages, verifying the presence of an overfilling protection device (OPD), and ensuring the tank is within its certification period. Tanks older than 12 years require recertification or replacement to comply with safety regulations.​

Our LP Gas Refill Process:

1. Tank Inspection: We examine your propane tank for any signs of wear or damage and confirm that it has a functional OPD valve.

2. Connection: Our staff securely connects your tank to our propane supply system using specialized equipment designed to handle pressurized gas safely.

3. Filling: We fill your tank to the appropriate level, typically up to 80% of its capacity. This precaution allows for propane expansion due to temperature changes, preventing overpressure situations.​

4. Leak Testing: After filling, we perform a leak test by opening the bleeder valve to ensure no liquid propane escapes. If liquid is detected, we take immediate corrective action to address any issues.​

5. Final Inspection and Closure: Once the refill is complete and safety checks are passed, we close all valves securely and prepare your tank for transport.

Safety Tips for Transporting Your Refilled Propane Tank:

• Secure Upright Position: Always transport propane tanks in an upright position to prevent leaks. Use a sturdy box or tank holder to keep the tank stable during transit.​

• Ventilation: Keep your vehicle well-ventilated by opening windows to disperse any potential gas accumulation.​

• Avoid Heat Exposure: Do not leave the propane tank in a closed vehicle, especially on warm days, as heat can increase pressure inside the tank.
