Cheap propane

jangel · Jul 12, 2010

Where is a cheap place to get my forklift tanks filled in Tacoma? I used to go to Star Ice and Fuel, but they're now closed. Thanks

Usually the propane distributors have the best prices. Up North here, American Distributing on 136th in Marysville had it for $1.98 a gallon in the days leading up to Memorial day. I got on their email list for all the upcoming specials. :corn:

Actually they closed the location in Tacoma for the new light rail, but appear to now be in Fife.

Don't know exactly were but there is a place off 410/Buckley that always advertised dirt cheap fills.

IIRC they were a distributor, but had constantly cheap price for walk-ins.

Search CL?

If you're headed to Elbe stop by the Ace Hardware/ liquor store on Mtn. Hwy. It's the one just before the Roy Y on the left side next to the vet. clinic. Within say the last 3 weeks they have been WAY cheaper than my usual spot (Black Bear Outpost on Mtn. Hwy. and 160th). Their price last Saturday was $1.99 vs $2.27 at the BBO.

Not that it helps you out any due to being on the other side of the mountains... but it is 1.88 here at the Northern Energy...

and just fyi, don't forget to stop. The gas station past Elbe right outside the National park rapes you, been there done that. I had to show them how to fill the fork lift tank too.
