Rick maybe you could let us know when your next doing this. so I can avoid
that part of town. emergency vehicles really mess up the traffic.
There is a place that will fill (not exchange) your tank in St Paul
Weber & Troseth Inc
1902 University Ave W ST PAUL, MN 55104
651-646-1034
its a block west of Porkies
go around to the back
they will usually fill it on the spot. P.S.: they *really* like homebrew
(even mine)

Then there always is the option of filling a small
tank using a large
tank. Although it is a bit spooky on the first few tries, I use a
10,000 psi hose with two regulator ends to fill my small and medium size
tanks using the 20 pounders. It was challenging to pay $7-9 to refill a
2 pounder and only $13 for a 20.
One big concern is not overfilling the small tank. This is easily
checked by weighing the empty tank and adding the tare weight to the
capacity. If you overfill, purge excess gas until the weight is
correct. The best way to start is to freeze the small tank.
NOTE: All pressure tanks are protected with a blast disc. This
includes propane, liquid, and compressed gasses. If a blast disc
blows, it quickly gets your attention and the valve quickly vents all
gas/liquid. Just a word to the wise.
BTW, I experienced tank to tank filling when precharging nitrogen over
oil/water accumulators.

I've was able to have my tank refilled at Toll (the one in Plymouth) as
long
as I was there when they were filling tanks. They were also good in
exchanging my nice, but not quite new, tank with one in similar
condition.
