Residential Propane Delivery Options
(Highly Recommended)
We offer Keep Fill to customers with tank sizes of 120 or more gallons. This option gives you peace of mind because we take the responsibility of making sure your tank has propane in it at all times.
You request when you want your tank to be filled. We suggest at 20%, as this ensures you will have enough propane to get through to your scheduled delivery day. Also, ensures your tank does not become empty.
Customers who have been with us at least one year and have a zero account balance may sign up for this service. Propane purchases for previous years and rental fees (if applicable) are divided by 12 to determine your monthly level pay plan amount. Your account is adjusted if there is a rise or decrease in propane usage.

Propane Safety
The safe use and handling of propane by our company and customers is our top priority.
Southland Propane is committed to keeping your family and home protected from preventable propane accidents. However, you are an essential part of prevention. By following a few safety tips, you can help protect your family.
For your safety, propane has an odor added so you can detect leaks.
- You and each member of your family must know the smell of propane. Ask your serviceman to demonstrate its odor. Propane is heavier than air and will collect at floor level. Carefully smell at floor level in low spots to check for propane.
- Odorant giving propane its distinctive smell can fade or diminish in intensity. Also, certain physical limitations or conditions might prevent you from smelling a gas leak. Installing one or more propane detectors listed by Underwriters Laboratories is an additional measure of security.
What to do if you smell gas or suspect a leak:
- Put out all smoking materials and any other open flames.
- Do not operate any appliances, switches, or thermostats.
- Get everyone outside and away from gas equipment.
- Shut off the gas supply, using the shutoff valve at the tank or cylinder.
- Call your propane supplier (use your neighbor’s phone) if gas smell is in the house.
- Stay outside and leave the gas off until the leak has been found and fixed.
To close the valve, turn wheel-handle clockwise to the right. If you are unable to close the valve, advise your propane service representative immediately.
Relighting Your Pilots
We strongly recommend that, for safety reasons, you call our qualified technician to relight your pilots. However, if you relight:
- Turn all appliance controls and manual shut-off valves to the “OFF” position.
- Slowly open the tank shut-off valve.
- Carefully smell for the presence of propane at floor level and low spots before attempting to relight the pilot.
- If gas is detected, STOP. See “What to do if you smell gas” above.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for pilot lighting.
