Description
Specified when one appliance matters enough to deserve its own supply and the property has a corner to spare for it.
It will run one serious load properly; asking it to carry heating as well is where owners get caught out.
Filled to the 80% limit this vessel holds about 80 gallons of propane — roughly 7 million BTU, or about 339 lb of product. On a 30,000 BTU/hr appliance that is around 244 hours of burn time from a full fill.
The next size down is 57 gallons and the next up is 120. Stepping up costs less than most people assume once freight is counted only once.
Key specification
- Rated water capacity: 100 gallons
- Fillable volume: approximately 80 gallons
- Mass of propane at full fill: approximately 339 lb
- Energy content when full: approximately 7 million BTU
- Installation: Above ground
- Condition: Confirmed on your invoice
- Fuel: Propane / LPG
Installation and siting
It needs a level, stable base and code clearances from buildings, boundaries and sources of ignition. Beyond that, an above-ground installation is as simple as propane storage gets.
Have a licensed propane professional lined up before the vessel arrives. Permits, setbacks and the commissioning test all sit with them, and scheduling is easier before the tank is on the ground.
What you receive
Condition is confirmed on the invoice. Whichever we ship, it is stamp-verified, pressure tested, and documented for the specific unit you receive.
Valves and fittings are inspected as a set. A vessel goes out with a working gauge and a relief valve in date, or it does not go out.
Worth knowing before you buy
Order ahead of the season if you can. Everyone specifies propane storage in the first cold week, and that is the worst week to be waiting on freight.
Ask what the regulator and first-stage arrangement will be. The tank is only half the specification, and the wrong regulator will starve appliances the vessel could easily supply.
