Refilling propane tanks

His profile shows that he lives in Ft Worth, TX. You do the math.

Since you're assuming he is still in TX, and he is going to use a TX refiller, do we then assume that every TX refiller follows the TX LP dispensing regulations to the letter? I'm done with it...

Tanks 1 year old that are empty and need to be re-filled prior to my upcoming trip. I am trying to obtain if I have to remove them from my RV to get them re-filled or can I leave them affixed to said RV.. I thought this to be a pretty simple question, but, apparently, I don't know the correct phraseology needed to get the information I need.

There's basically no good answer to your question available here, since different refillers have different policies on the issue, and individual state and local laws may also differ. NFPA-58, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code adopted by most states as the basis for their own codes, does not appear to specify either way except in the case of those horizontal DOT cylinders that require filling in a vertical position, which usually requires dismounting them. The best answer for you would likely be to check with the LP dispensing station you intend to use and see what they require.

In Texas there is only one answer. They have to be removed to be refilled.

Since we don't know where the OP is planning to have the cylinders refiled, my answer stands.

Not if the tank is bolted in MH.

Remove your removable cylinders and take them to a propane supplier.

If you were on the East side of the metroplex I'd suggest Tractor Supply @ 1.89/gal (mesquite). They might remove the cylinders for you but I never expect the propane filler to remove empty or full cylinders for me.

Well, you right about something

Easiest way is to remove them, take them to local propane dealer and have them filled.
