1000 gallon Underground Propane Gas Tank

DOT & ASME Steel Cylinders

Different portable propane tank sizes give you options when it comes to how much equipment you want to power and how long you can operate before you run out of gas.

UNDERGROUND PROPANE STORAGE TANKS

Propane tanks come in all different sizes and vary in use from powering your grill to your food truck, from your forklift to your fleet, from drying your crops to keeping your materials warm. In all cases, propane keeps your business fueled and operating with the highest efficiency.

The cost to install a propane tank for a house ranges from $700 to $4,500 installed, but on average, expect to pay about $1,500 to install a 500-gallon above-ground propane tank and $2,000 for a 500-gallon underground tank. Prices depend on the size of the house, how much of the home is gas-powered, and the climate, if heating is included.

For small grilling and auxiliary propane tanks, expect to spend between $50 and $150. A standard 20 lb. tank costs around $35, while a larger 100 lb. tank costs about $150.

To estimate the cost of a propane tank for your home, you will need to decide how big your tank needs to be. Most tanks can be installed either above or below ground.

Gallon Propane Tank Costs

A 120– to 325-gallon tank will take care of powering heating, cooking, fireplace, dryer, and standard hot water. However, you might want to spread out the number of times you refill it, in which case a 500-gallon tank would be more practical, only needing a refill every six months. Multi-zoned homes and homes with a hot tub and jacuzzi require a considerably larger tank.

Excavation And Trenching Labor Cost

Aside from the cost of the actual tank, there is the fee for the licensed installer, the installation package, and the excavating team. Working hours for the excavation team are extra at about $500–$600, starting with $95 for the first 30 min +$75/man/hour.

Reasons To Install Your Propane Tank Underground

• You are in a geographical location with extreme weather, especially deep freezing. When underground, the tank is surrounded by earth, thus helping to keep the temperature steady.
• Underground propane tanks are safer when it comes to potential damages like propane leaks since the leak will be more contained by the soil. Propane is harmless to your water and the environment, but it is combustible.
• You’d rather have it out of sight. An underground tank can have landscaping surrounding the cap where the gauges and other controls are.
• Sometimes, an underground tank can raise the value of the property.

Above-Ground Propane Tank Price

Above-ground propane tank prices are $700 to $2,500 on average, depending on the tank size, the amount of gas it holds, and whether it’s new, empty, used, or full.

Above-ground propane tank prices are $400 for a 100-gallon tank, $1,200 for a 250-gallon tank, $1,500 for a 500-gallon tank, and approximately $3,100 for a 1,000-gallon tank.

An above-ground propane tank is recommended if your property is located in an area with frequent flooding. There can be a problem with an underground tank “floating”, causing the tank to shift or float if the water rises above the propane level in the tank.

1. Capacity – Any tank will only be filled to 80% capacity. Thus a 100-gal tank will be full at only 80 gallons. This safety precaution is to leave room for the expansion of the gas with warmth. New tanks come with an overfill protection device.
2. Propane tank recertification – The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the DOT require periodic recertification of stationary propane cylinders by qualified service technicians. Recertification costs $40 to $60 and must be done on any cylinder under 100 lb. twelve years from the date of manufacture and every five years following.
3. Local building codes – Underground tanks must be installed at least 10 feet away from any traffic, building, or property line.
4. Cold start issues – Propane performs well in cold weather climates because the fuel mixture (propane and air) is completely gaseous. This factor allows propane-powered vehicles and equipment to avoid many cold-start issues associated with using liquid fuels.

Is it better to purchase or rent a tank?

Buying a propane tank for your home gives you the freedom to purchase propane from the supplier of choice. It also leaves you responsible for all maintenance and certifications. Renting relieves one of the risks of breakdowns but restricts you to a single supplier.

If you plan on using the tank long term, buying it and doing yearly maintenance is a cheaper option because you get to take it with you if you move. Without the maintenance, leaks can cause you to lose money on lost propane.

How to tell how much propane your tank has left

Your home propane storage tank will have a gauge showing the percentage your tank is full. With smaller, portable tanks used for grilling, RVs, and even smokers, you can weigh the tank, deducting the empty weight of the tank. A simpler method is to take a small bucket of warm water and pour it over the side of the tank. Run your hand from top to bottom, and you will feel where the coldness of the propane starts—that will show you how much is left.

What is the price of actual propane/cost to refill your tank?

The actual price of propane is tied to crude oil prices. Many U-Haul locations and pay-at-the-pump options price it at $2.40 to $3.70 per gallon. A tractor supply company may have the lowest price, with no differentiation for use. Commonly, they will only fill up to 100 gallons.

Should I exchange or refill my old tank?

One consideration for refilling would be the potential savings, but saving up to $2 per gallon may be offset by the inconvenience of finding an open filling station. The advantage of exchanging the tank is getting one which is certified and properly serviced.

How much does propane tank recertification cost?

Propane tank recertification costs approximately $40 to ­60. Recertification must be done on any cylinder under 100 lb. twelve years from the date of manufacture, and every five years following.

What is the difference between propane and liquid propane?

Liquid propane is synonymous with propane. When one sees LPG, it could be propane or not. While propane is a liquified petroleum gas (hydrocarbon gas liquified through pressurization), so are butane, isobutane, and mixtures of them.
