Description
Whole-property supply in one vessel. It is the capacity that lets a household forget about propane between deliveries.
Full domestic service — space heating, water heating and every gas appliance in the property.
Filled to the 80% limit this vessel holds about 400 gallons of propane — roughly 37 million BTU, or about 1,696 lb of product. Against a steady 100,000 BTU/hr load that is roughly 15 days of continuous running before it needs refilling.
Against the 330 gallon it buys real headroom; against the 1,000 it saves footprint and pad. That trade-off is usually decided by the site, not the load.

Siting notes
It needs a level, stable base and code clearances from buildings, boundaries and sources of ignition. Beyond that, an above-ground installation is as simple as propane storage gets.
Our responsibility ends at the delivery; a licensed propane contractor takes it from there. Codes on siting, clearances and commissioning are not optional and not ours to sign off.
Condition and documentation
New stock, uninstalled and unfilled, with its certification and the manufacturer’s warranty supplied 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.
Cost of ownership
Refill pricing rewards volume. A tank that takes a full delivery in one visit will always beat one that needs topping up twice.
Worth knowing before you buy
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.
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.
