I use these guys too. They are top notch on customer service in my book. Refill is the same price as a tank exchange at Roberts and the one tank I have that Roberts won't refill, they do. They repared the valve for next to nothing too.

How much are you paying for a 2.5#, 5# & 10# tank there?

I only have 20# tanks. It was the same as an exchange of a 20# tank at Roberts, about $24.

I was charged $20 for a 2.5#. Maybe I'll just get a 10# tank because $24 isn't too bad for a tank that size! I do like the fact that they will fill it right on the same spot and you get to keep your original tank!

Question: Is a refill of a 5# for $16...1000lb/sq in. all seem about right?

I need another refill for my second cylinder.
