AMERIGAS PARTNERS ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF CONSENT SOLICITATION AND
PRICING OF TENDER OFFER

Valley Forge, Pa., April 14-AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (NYSE:APU) (the
"Partnership") announced today that, as of April 13, 2005, holders of 96% of its
outstanding 8.875% Series B Senior Notes due 2011 (CUSIP Number: 03073K AC5)
(the "Notes") had tendered Notes and delivered consents in connection with the
Partnership's tender offer and consent solicitation commenced on April 4, 2005.
Accordingly, the Partnership, AP Eagle Finance Corp. (the co-issuer of the
Notes) and the trustee under the Indenture relating to the Notes have executed
and delivered a supplemental indenture containing the amendments described in
the Partnership's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation dated April 4,
2005. The amendments will not become operative unless the Notes are accepted for
purchase in accordance with the terms of the tender offer. If the amendments
become operative, holders of all untendered Notes will be bound thereby. The
Partnership will not be required to purchase any of the Notes tendered or pay
any consent payments unless certain conditions have been satisfied, including
the receipt of the net proceeds of a private placement of debt securities in an
amount sufficient to pay the aggregate consideration payable pursuant to the
offer.

As previously announced, the tender offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 P.M.
New York City time, on May 2, 2005, unless extended by the Partnership. As of
the expiration of the consent period at 5:00 P.M., April 13, 2005, tendered
Notes may no longer be withdrawn.

The Partnership further announced that the price to be paid for each $1,000
principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for payment would be $1,061.22,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to the payment date. In addition, holders who
delivered consents on or before April 13, 2005 will receive a consent fee of $30
per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, for a total consideration (exclusive of
accrued and unpaid interest) of $1,091.22 per $1,000 principal amount.

The Partnership and AmeriGas Finance Corp. (as co-issuer) announced that they
have agreed to issue $415 million of 7.25% Senior Notes due 2015 in a private
placement on May 3, 2005. The net proceeds of the new issue will be used to fund
the purchase of 8.875% Series B Senior Notes pursuant to the tender offer.
