In highly regulated industries like aerospace, downtime is not an option. When a national supplier left one company stranded without propane and without support, Ted Johnson Propane stepped in to deliver a fast, safe, and lasting solution.
To make matters worse, the supplier would not remove its propane storage tank, tying the customer’s hands and delaying the switch to a new provider.
The Challenge
In August 2022, the contracts manager of a major aerospace company reached out in frustration. Their national propane supplier had stopped refilling their storage tank and refused to communicate. Even after trying multiple remedies, the supplier would not act, leaving the company without the propane supply it needed to keep operations running.
The Solution
Ted Johnson Propane delivered more than fuel. We provided a reliable path forward by taking ownership of the stranded tank, restoring it to exceed safety standards, and ensuring full compliance documentation. With local service, responsive support, and a focus on safety, we positioned the aerospace company for long-term stability and confidence in their propane supply.
When propane service is critical to your operations, choosing a supplier is about more than just fuel delivery. It is about trust, safety, and responsiveness. Ted Johnson Propane delivers on all three, ensuring your business is never left waiting.

The Advantage of Partnering with a Trusted Local Propane Company
For businesses in highly regulated industries, the decision to choose a propane supplier is about far more than price. It is about service, accountability, and the assurance that critical operations will never be left waiting for fuel.
National propane companies often manage accounts from a distance, which can leave customers feeling like just another number. Communication is slower, service is less personal, and resolving problems can take longer than your operation can afford.
A local propane supplier, by contrast, provides direct access to decision-makers, faster response times, and a true partnership approach. Local teams know the area, understand industry demands, and can quickly adapt service to match customer needs. This level of responsiveness translates into greater reliability, smoother compliance with safety requirements, and long-term trust.
For aerospace companies and other industries where downtime is costly and safety is non-negotiable, the choice is clear. A trusted local propane company delivers the accountability and peace of mind that national suppliers simply cannot match.
