Helium refill in Missouri: what to know
In Missouri, most industrial gas suppliers primarily offer exchange: you bring an empty cylinder and swap it for a full one. It’s usually the fastest way to get back up and running. Refills (topping off the same tank you own) are less common and may require leaving your cylinder for a scheduled fill or test.
If you own your bottle, always look for “accepts owned tanks” in the directory and call first. Shops can vary on valve types, hydro dates, and policies.
Disposable party tanks are generally not refillable for safety and legal reasons.
Services explained: refill vs exchange vs rental
Refill: You keep your cylinder. Fewer shops do this on demand.
Exchange: Hand in an empty, leave with a full cylinder. Most common option.
Rental: Short-term tank for a specific event or weekend.
If you’re inflating lots of balloons, ask the shop what size you need so you don’t run short.
Accepted tanks, safety & transport basics
Keep cylinders upright, secured, and out of heat. Call ahead if you’re unsure your tank is accepted.
