Description
This is the smallest tank most installers will bother to set permanently, and the point at which owning beats renting a cylinder.
Specified for standby power, workshop heat, or a kitchen range where mains gas does not reach.
Filled to the 80% limit this vessel holds about 96 gallons of propane — roughly 9 million BTU, or about 407 lb of product. On a 30,000 BTU/hr appliance that is around 293 hours of burn time from a full fill.
Against the 100 gallon it buys real headroom; against the 200 it saves footprint and pad. That trade-off is usually decided by the site, not the load.

Getting it on site
Designed for exchange and refill rather than permanent installation, with the handling rules that come with a vessel people actually pick up.
Installation is a licensed trade. We will get the vessel to your site on an insured carrier; setting, connecting and commissioning it is work for a qualified propane contractor.
What you receive
Whether new or certified used, nothing ships without a live stamp, a passed pressure test and the documentation to prove both.
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.
Buying notes
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.
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.
