Stus-List LPG tank -- 37+

Listers, I think this was covered in the past, but I'm getting older and I forgot the answer. In my 37+, I have a tank labelled LPG for my stove. I need to get it refilled. Is this propane? The same propane used for bbq grills? Or is LPG something a little different? All the best, Edd -

Yep, propane. Liquefied Propane Gas to be exact. A grill tank should cost about $10-12 to get filled. From empty. Try to find a place that will only charge you for the amount you buy by weight. Some places just charge a flat fee regardless of how much was left in your tank before filling. My
