Description
At this capacity every detail matters: foundation, spacing, transfer equipment and the schedule that keeps the vessel earning.
It anchors a storage facility rather than serving a single load, with transfer equipment sized to match.
Filled to the 80% limit this vessel holds about 24,000 gallons of propane — roughly 2,196 million BTU, or about 101,760 lb of product. Against a steady 100,000 BTU/hr load that is roughly 915 days of continuous running before it needs refilling.
Nothing in our range is larger. Above 30,000 gallons, storage becomes a bespoke engineering exercise and we quote it accordingly.

Siting notes
Built on skids rather than fixed foundations, this vessel suits temporary sites, phased projects and operations that expect to move it. It arrives ready to set and connect.
Have a licensed propane professional lined up before the vessel arrives. Permits, setbacks and the commissioning test all sit with them, and scheduling is easier before the tank is on the ground.
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.
Running costs
Buying propane in summer and storing it through winter is the oldest saving in this trade, and it only works if the vessel is big enough to be worth filling.
Worth knowing before you buy
If you are between two capacities, go up. A tank that never drops below about 30% refills more cheaply per gallon and spends less of its life on the supplier’s emergency list.
Order ahead of the season if you can. Everyone specifies propane storage in the first cold week, and that is the worst week to be waiting on freight.
