Your local shop should be able to get you a fill whip.  Don't expect to be 
able to do your own fills for anything less than the shop is charging you, 
though.  By the time you buy the gas, pay monthly rental on the tanks and 
figure in the losses inherent in the filling process I would expect that it 
will end up costing you quite a bit more than if you just went to the local 
shop for your fills.  Doing these things yourself is a bit like buying your 
own boat to go diving -- it is more convenient but you get to see what the 
real costs are.

Good luck,
Dale
