Description
The step where storage starts paying for itself in delivery economics rather than just in convenience.
Specified for estates, farms, workshops and hospitality sites with a genuinely commercial gas demand.
Filled to the 80% limit this vessel holds about 800 gallons of propane — roughly 73 million BTU, or about 3,392 lb of product. Against a steady 100,000 BTU/hr load that is roughly 30 days of continuous running before it needs refilling.
In our range it sits between the 500 gallon and the 1,150 gallon. If the load is borderline, the 1,150 is the safer buy and the freight is the same either way.
Key specification
- Rated water capacity: 1,000 gallons
- Working volume (80% fill): approximately 800 gallons
- Weight of propane when filled: approximately 3,392 lb
- Stored energy when full: approximately 73 million BTU
- Installation: Underground (buried)
- Certification: ASME stamped
- Condition: New
- Fuel: Propane / LPG
Siting and installation
Buried installation keeps the vessel out of sight and off the usable footprint of the plot, which is usually why it is chosen over an above-ground tank of the same capacity. The trade-off is excavation, a dome and riser for access to the valves, and cathodic protection that has to be maintained.
Our responsibility ends at the delivery; a licensed propane contractor takes it from there. Codes on siting, clearances and commissioning are not optional and not ours to sign off.
Condition and certification
A new vessel with factory coating, new valves and gauge throughout, and the manufacturer’s warranty intact.
All connections are inspected and protected for transit, so the installing contractor starts with clean threads and a working gauge.
Cost of ownership
Refill pricing rewards volume. A tank that takes a full delivery in one visit will always beat one that needs topping up twice.
Before you commit
Think about the delivery vehicle as well as the tank. A site a bulk truck cannot reach turns a cheap refill into an expensive one for the rest of the tank’s life.
Size against the real load, not the optimistic one. A vessel one size too small costs more across ten years of refills than the larger one did on the day you bought it.
