Description
This capacity is where domestic supply turns into something closer to a small bulk installation.
It supports several heavy appliances at once, or a seasonal process load that would flatten a domestic tank.
Filled to the 80% limit this vessel holds about 1,200 gallons of propane — roughly 110 million BTU, or about 5,088 lb of product. Against a steady 100,000 BTU/hr load that is roughly 46 days of continuous running before it needs refilling.
Against the 1,150 gallon it buys real headroom; against the 2,000 it saves footprint and pad. That trade-off is usually decided by the site, not the load.

Getting it on site
Above-ground siting is the straightforward option: no excavation, no anode bag, and every valve and the gauge are reachable without opening a dome. It sits on legs or saddles on a level pad and can be inspected in place for the whole of its service life.
We supply and deliver; we do not install. A propane vessel must be set and commissioned by a licensed propane professional under NFPA 58 and your local code.
Condition and certification
We verify the stamp and pressure test the vessel before it leaves the yard, and the paperwork for your exact unit goes out with the order.
We check the relief valve, the service and fill connections and the float gauge on every unit. These are the parts that fail first and the parts that matter most.
Refills and running costs
Larger vessels are cheaper to fill per gallon because suppliers price on delivery efficiency. A part-load top-up costs more per gallon than a bulk fill, every time.
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.
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.
