     If you want to get gas for a cylindrical tank (cilindro), you just have to call and ask for the truck to come and exchange a full tank for your empty one (If you’re moving into a new house that doesn’t have a tank yet, you should first go to a “ferretería” [hardware store] to buy a cylindrical tank).  The gas truck should come in about 30 to 40 minutes.  You should give your address and your two cross streets…give as many references as you can to help them find you…especially the first time. (For instance, #71 Higuera, Ixtlahuacan, between Mamey and Chiramoya near Villas de Ixtlahuacan. There is an Abarrotes on the corner). The next time your cylindrical tank is empty, just call again.  It is better if you have two cylindrical tanks, then you will be sure that you will never run out of gas.  You will pay in cash (pesos).
