Description
Sites buy this capacity to stop being at the mercy of a delivery window during the weeks when they can least afford one.
Specified where the load is continuous and an interruption stops production rather than just causing inconvenience.
Filled to the 80% limit this vessel holds about 1,600 gallons of propane — roughly 146 million BTU, or about 6,784 lb of product. Against a steady 100,000 BTU/hr load that is roughly 61 days of continuous running before it needs refilling.
Against the 1,500 gallon it buys real headroom; against the 2,500 it saves footprint and pad. That trade-off is usually decided by the site, not the load.

Siting and installation
Set on a prepared pad, an above-ground vessel is the cheapest to install and by a distance the easiest to service. The gauge is readable from the ground and a technician can reach every fitting without lifting anything.
Setting and commissioning must be done by a licensed propane professional in line with NFPA 58 and local code. Ask us if you need a name in your area.
What you receive
Every vessel is stamp-verified and pressure tested before dispatch, and the data plate photograph and test record travel with the invoice.
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.
Cost of ownership
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.
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.
