How to Figure Out What Size Propane Tank

1,000 Gallon Propane Tank

Once you’ve made the wise decision to turn to propane to power some or all of your appliances, such as your furnace, endless hot water heater, and an alternate heat source such as a stove or fireplace, you’re going to need a place to store that gas.

Some propane suppliers, such as Diversified Energy, provide propane tanks for sale. Depending on such factors as the size of your home and your particular propane supply needs, you can choose from a variety of sizes when it comes to propane tanks.

NEVER COMPROMISE

Much like our Refurbishing, our Manufacturing process is centered around the credo “Never Compromise Quality For Cost”, which enables us to offer one of the strongest warranties in the propane industry. Our grueling testing process is measured not in the hundreds but in the thousands of hours of abusive environmental testing.

The large propane tanks that we keep in stock are the 1000-gallon LP Gas tanks. These tanks are primarily for industrial and commercial applications. However, we sell and install several of these each year for residential use. A 1000-gallon tank is suitable for a large restaurant or commercial kitchen used daily. Propane resale and bottle plants generally require a 1000-gallon propane tank. In some cases, two or more of these tanks can be piped together for liquid service or high volume use. The capacity of the 1000-gallon tank offers supply protection while ensuring demand requirements are met.

Uses

Say you live in a 3,000-square-foot home and rely on propane gas to heat your home and power a backup generator in case of power loss. You’re also using propane for a gas fireplace, your tankless water heater system, and a pool heater. And, you also have a gas line attached to your outdoor grill that uses propane gas to fire up that grill for barbecues or family outdoor cooking.

That’s a lot of propane to rely on, and it would be recommended that you have a 1,000-gallon horizontal propane tank installed on your property to hold the amount of gas you would need over a one-month period.

You might also be a business owner who has decided to utilize propane as your main energy source. Chances are the 1,000-gallon storage tank will work best for you as well, as this size tank is recommended for commercial cleaning appliances, commercial cooking needs, commercial heating, and even crop drying equipment.

Recommended Locations

Just where would you install a propane tank of this size? For a 1,000-gallon horizontal propane tank, it is recommended that it be installed at least ten feet from the home or commercial building. These tanks can be installed above or underground.

1000 Gallon Bulk Tank

This tank is for high-end users. This includes large houses, houses with heated pools, restaurants, resale outlets, etc. Installation requirements include being at least 25′ from any important building.

If you choose to have your storage tank installed below ground for aesthetic purposes, it is highly recommended that you rely on professionals like those available from Diversified Energy. These professionals have knowledge about proper codes and safety requirements that you or an unlicensed contractor might be unfamiliar with.

Both above- and underground propane storage tanks should be installed away from any vehicular traffic; underground tanks should not be installed beneath driveways or outdoor buildings such as a garage or shed.

Offering Both Horizontal and Vertical

replaced the 6 x 420 lb propane tanks (in the background) with a single 1,000-gallon torpedo tank.

Long Beach off-coast Port offers all of the tank sizes listed earlier on this page; however, only the 120-gallon propane storage tank is offered in horizontal and vertical configurations. Diversified sells the 1,000-gallon propane storage tank only in the horizontal configuration.

Vertical 1,000-gallon propane tanks are less common than horizontal ones. The horizontal shape allows for high-capacity storage with low visibility when installed above ground; if a 1,000-gallon tank is vertical, it would be harder to install inconspicuously behind shrubs or hedges as you can with a vertical 120-gallon tank. Many homeowners and business owners prefer tanks to be installed in such a way as to be discreet; when the underground option is not available, you can opt for a vertical tank that can be placed behind shrubs, fences, or outbuildings.

For installation purposes, a vertical 1,000-gallon propane storage tank would simply require too much excavation to place underground; the horizontal shape makes it easier to install it underground and leave the tank dome visible for filling purposes.

Benefits

The main benefit of having a 1,000-gallon horizontal propane tank is that you’re going to have all the propane you need over a one-month period to power all of the appliances that propane gas is used to operate.

Essentially, you’re guaranteed not to run out of propane before your next propane delivery with this large size storage tank.

The corrosion-resistant steel of your 1,000-gallon tank makes it safe to install below ground, so you have the benefit of not having the tank in sight if you choose not to and also to increase your outdoor space, as you won’t have this large tank taking up any part of your yard or business property.

An added benefit of a 1,000-gallon tank is if you choose such a tank if your home is not quite as large as that recommended for this size tank, or if you’re powering fewer appliances then you would need a 1,000-gallon tank to power. Thus, you would have a larger amount of propane gas on hand for your needs and require fewer deliveries over the course of a year—cost savings!

Important LPG Tank Information

The propane industry is educated about tanks, proper installation requirements, laws, and procedures governing the repair of tanks and systems they service. It is of the utmost importance that unlicensed individuals do not attempt to make repairs or modifications to their own tanks for safety and continued serviceability.

Because the laws and safety practices change within the propane industry, tank installation and maintenance should only be performed by those who are familiar with these codes and regulations regarding LP Gas tanks. This cannot be stressed enough. DO NOT MOVE, REPAIR OR MODIFY ANY PART OF AN LP GAS TANK OR ANY PART OF THE GAS PIPING SYSTEM.

The information provided within this section is for consumer educational purposes only and is intended to better familiarize users with propane tanks and their parts. Portable tanks, known as bottles or cylinders are used as a fuel source for gas grills as well as forklifts. Stationary propane tanks are often found behind homes or businesses supplying all propane-fueled appliances in the structure. Stationary tanks are also used to refill cylinders and mobile containers at bottle plants.

Propane tanks, regardless of size, store propane liquid until it is used as either a liquid or vapor. All tanks are subject to rules based on safety for users, service technicians, and the general public and can only be filled to about 80% which constitutes a “full” tank of gas. Many people believe that propane tanks and butane tanks are the same but propane pressure is much higher than that of butane.

This means that while mostly identical in appearance and attached fittings, propane tanks are subject to higher pressures and the two types of tanks are in fact very different and cannot be filled with either of the two LP Gases. Propane tanks are for storing only propane. This section covers related subjects such as
