PITA Topping Off Propane
Ever want to top off propane (18 gal fixed mount tank) before a trip, maybe 2-4 gals, and find it a real PITA to do so, especially when theres a 5 gal minimum, or when a single attendant pumping gas,...

JMHO, Austin is a canary in the coal mine. As things get more crowded, the fear of someone using propane tanks for nefarious uses mount, so one has to go further and further out to find refillers. I wouldn't be surprised that other cities will follow suit and only allow fixed tanks (as in either in ground or above ground and bolted down) to be refilled, while 20# containers will have to be exchanged, and 30-40# cylinders will have to be taken outside the city for that.
The most common illegal use for propane cylinders is for meth processing. For that purpose, they do not want full tanks, they prefer empty tanks to save them the bother of venting it all out.
