Reno - Propane & Biofuels

Call around if you plan on filling large propane tanks. Several of the major propane suppliers in the area aren't located within the shopping hubs we've detailed, but you can find out more information by looking through this listing:

Yellow Book - Reno Propane

Of course, small propane cylinders can be picked up at a number of places, and notably the Save Mart and Raley's supermarket chains plan to be stocked. Check out the Groceries category for a supermarket or hardware store near your shopping destination.

As for Biofuels, there are currently, really only two places in the region to look to.
