Description
This is the capacity most homes should have bought first: enough headroom that the gauge is never a source of anxiety.
It comfortably carries central heating, hot water, a cooking range and a dryer on one 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.
In our range it sits between the 330 gallon and the 1,000 gallon. If the load is borderline, the 1,000 is the safer buy and the freight is the same either way.

Siting and installation
Above-ground siting is the straightforward option: no excavation, no anode bag, and every valve and the gauge are reachable without opening a dome. It sits on legs or saddles on a level pad and can be inspected in place for the whole of its service life.
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 certification
Straight from the manufacturer, never filled, with the warranty and documentation transferred to you on purchase.
All connections are inspected and protected for transit, so the installing contractor starts with clean threads and a working gauge.
Cost of ownership
Running a tank down to the reserve costs money twice: emergency delivery rates, and the risk of an interruption at the worst possible time.
Before you order
Buy the documentation, not just the steel. A vessel without a legible stamp and a test record is worth a fraction of one with both, whatever the listing says.
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.
