Propane Tanks: 100 lb Cylinders to 1,000 Gallon Storage
These are steel tanks that store propane gas, from a 100 pound cylinder up to a 1,000 gallon tank. Small ones stand upright and move around on a simple hand truck. The biggest ones sit on a firm base or go underground.
Which size suits you
Match the tank to how much fuel you burn, because running short in winter is a real nuisance.
Size | Fuel it holds | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
100 lb cylinder | about 24 gallons | Cabins, workshops, patio heaters, food trucks |
120 gallon | about 96 gallons | Small homes, hot water, workshops |
1,000 gallon | about 800 gallons | Large homes, farms, businesses |
Cooking and hot water use little fuel, but heating a whole house burns through it fast. Heavy users often step up a size, so they refill less often.
Propane is dangerous, so treat any tank as a safety purchase first. Keep tanks outdoors, upright, and away from flames, sparks, and drains. Never store or carry a cylinder in a car, basement, or closed shed. Large tanks usually need a licensed propane company to install them. Only a licensed supplier should fill any tank, and local rules differ by state.
Check the paperwork
The markings tell you most of what you need to know. Small cylinders are usually built to the DOT standard, while stationary tanks carry an ASME nameplate. Look for the build date, and for the retest date on cylinders. Many tanks still belong to a propane company, and nobody else can fill those. Check the shell for a company name before you buy. Tanks are never filled to the top, because gas needs room to expand. The usual limit is 80 percent, so a 1,000 gallon tank holds about 800 gallons.
Delivery and setup
A cylinder travels strapped upright, and moving it takes a hand truck and two people. Bigger tanks weigh several hundred to several thousand pounds, so plan the unloading. Above ground tanks need a firm, level base and solid supports. Underground tanks need a protective coating, anodes, and a careful installation plan. Look over the shell, valves, and fittings on arrival for dents, rust, or leaks.
If you run a business
Farm supply stores, propane dealers, and equipment yards sell several sizes steadily. Buying through a wholesale distributor usually brings your cost per unit down. You also get straight answers about condition, markings, and how tanks get delivered. Freight is the big cost, so ask about it before ordering.
That’s all we do really: tell you what we have, ship it, and let you decide.
