Description
At this size the tank stops being a household fixture and starts being infrastructure, with the delivery economics that come with it.
Specified for estates, farms, workshops and hospitality sites with a genuinely commercial gas demand.
Filled to the 80% limit this vessel holds about 800 gallons of propane — roughly 73 million BTU, or about 3,392 lb of product. Against a steady 100,000 BTU/hr load that is roughly 30 days of continuous running before it needs refilling.
In our range it sits between the 500 gallon and the 1,150 gallon. If the load is borderline, the 1,150 is the safer buy and the freight is the same either way.

Installation and siting
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.
This is supplied as equipment, not as an installed service. NFPA 58 and your local authority govern how and where it may be set.
Certification and paperwork
Sold as inspected and pressure tested. A used vessel is the same steel as a new one with a documented history attached, and the documentation is the reason to buy it with confidence. Expect honest cosmetic wear.
Fittings are verified before the vessel leaves the yard: relief valve condition, gauge operation, and clean threads on every connection.
Running costs
Running a tank down to the reserve costs money twice: emergency delivery rates, and the risk of an interruption at the worst possible time.
Buying notes
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.
