Description
A cylinder in this class is bought for convenience first: it goes where it is needed and comes back when it is empty.
Usual service is catering equipment, a workshop heater, or the gas supply on a mobile unit.
Filled to the 80% limit this vessel holds about 2 gallons of propane — roughly 0 million BTU, or about 8 lb of product. On a 30,000 BTU/hr appliance that is around 6 hours of burn time from a full fill.
The smallest capacity we list in this class. Anything more demanding moves you to the 24 gallon.

Siting and installation
Designed for exchange and refill rather than permanent installation, with the handling rules that come with a vessel people actually pick up.
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.
Condition and documentation
Each unit is checked, tested and photographed before dispatch, so what arrives is provably the vessel that was inspected.
Fittings are verified before the vessel leaves the yard: relief valve condition, gauge operation, and clean threads on every connection.
Worth knowing before you buy
Have the appliance ratings to hand when you call. Total BTU and the climate decide the capacity; everything else is siting.
Tell us the delivery ZIP when you enquire and we will quote the tank and the freight in the same reply, including any access surcharge — not after you have paid.
