Propane tanks are also used for powering home standby generators like the popular and reliable Generac Guardian which offer up to 26 kW.

[@bambamnj]

True, but not totally. Propane tanks are used by a lot of homes where Natural Gas lines are not available. So if you have a rural home or a cabin in the woods or up in the mountains, propane is the way to go and you can get "propane versions" of practically any appliance that you would get for natural gas (furnace, how water heaters, fireplace inserts, etc). What is nice about propane is even if there is no propane delivery in your area, you can get 100lb tanks and string them together with independent shut-offs, and you can quickly disconnect individual tanks and take them yourself to get them filled.

[@chrisdunham8062]

I have a farm tap on my property. I was told that I could use the a propane tank to store the natural gas, since it is a gaseous state. Is that true? If not, what can I store the gas in to be able to use for a cabin?

[@Brad.W]

​@@bambamnjyou also forgot to mention homes like mine that are 100% all electric even my heating and almost every home on my street is the same way so the only reason most of us have an LP tank is to fuel nothing but a standby generator because if I lose power I also lose heat or cooling.

[@hjc4604]

@@chrisdunham8062 The capacity of the tank is rated on liquid contents and would not hold much gas at all. Propane tanks contain liquid propane under pressure, which raises the boiling point. Opening the valve reduces the pressure allowing the liquid to boil producing gaseous propane. Tanks are filled, with liquefied gas, to 80% of their actual volume to allow a large area for expansion of the gas and the liquid which also expands with increasing temperature. These tanks are not designed for high pressures. You would need a liquefied natural gas (LNG) to provide you with storage in case the main gas line drops out.

⚠️ Excellent Video…. I’m a retired electrical contractor who had a strong focus on standby generator system design and installations. Our local propane supplier always seemed to fail when it came to explaining tank size / capacity to our customers. (mostly residential and light commercial / fire sprinkler pump power systems) This would have been so ideal way back in the “old days”. It sure would have been nicer than referencing Hank Hill. Thanks!

I worked as a Propane Service Tech for Amerigas (San Jose, CA) and Kamps Propane (Hayward, CA). I gave similar talks to new and curious customers. I was hoping you were going to discuss the bobtails. You also left out forklift tanks and the odd horizontal RV tanks, I'm sure for time. Great video, thanks.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

I use to pull a propane fueled heat box. Had it mounted on a 48 ft van trailer with a Bladder bag in it. We ran team out to a cross dock unload finished product. Unroll the bag go top off the propane tank drop it at the glue plant pick up a load of glue come home to our plant.

[@tward6630]

Then forklift cylinders can be a nightmare sometimes. Two paper mills that I fill here in Savannah, GA get crazy. GA Pacific I pump maybe 500 to 600 gallons in cylinders, every few days. And International Paper about 400 gallons daily. Sometimes wish they would want us to put in a couple 1000’s so they can fill their own forklifts.

[@TheLpjoe]

While I agree with your comments regarding tank sizing in general, and the fact that you are putting forth valuable information, I do take a slight issue with the generalization of just what would work where. I have been in the LP industry as a service tech and delivery driver for 16+ years in northern Minnesota for both Amerigas, (cough , cough) and a local coop . in our area your recommendations would be greatly under sizing the tank for the application. dual 120 gallon (420#) setups are rare. and the typical install is a 500 A.G. unit for the vaporization capacity it provides. We routinely see -40 deg F. temps each winter and anything smaller for primary home heating is a recipe for trouble.

[@gextreme2381]

Great. But this company doesn't service customers there. You should point your customers to your video. Also, It was really nice of you to thank him for his great video. Oh wait...

[@FlatFifties]

Good point. When I thought about getting a whole house generator both the generator technician and my propane company told me that I would need a 1000 gal tank to maintain the needed BTU per hour, or vaporization rate that the generator would require in the winter. Another issue concerning buried tanks is that if the ground water level gets high during the wet seasons, a propane tank, even a full one, can float out of the ground. I once saw a local fuel tank float out of the ground even though it was full, had a 12 inch concrete pad over it, and a semi was parked on top of it to hold it down. One of our local motels had their swimming pool float out of the ground even though it was left half full.

Install a 1,000 gallon (800 actual capacity) tank buried in your back yard. You own it and will get propane cheaper by getting bigger fill ups from the dealer of your choice. If you lease your tank, only the dealer that owns it can fill it. He can charge whatever he wants per gallon.

For sure! Also the slightly taller, similarly skinny 10lb tanks. Especially if you find a place that'll charge a straight "per-gallon" charge, generally cheaper than a flat-rate by tank size (it's never 1/4 the cost of a 20lb cylinder).

I have 2 -100 lb tanks. And when bought I had them put the right fill valves on top so a propane truck when ever in the neighborhood filling someone else's big tank they could fill both my tanks. Just went through hurricane Ien here in fla . used my champion duel fuel gen for power. It ran for over 36 hrs on one 100lb tank.Did not have to use 2nd tank.

[@mlindholm]

@@REVNUMANEWBERN Empty? Sure, if you're strong. Full? Not safely, IMO! The 100 gallon tank would be 420 lbs of propane, plus 200-300 lbs tare weight for the empty tank (found weights vary), so that'd be a beefy hand truck to move 600+ pounds. Certainly not a common pneumatic wheeled one from the hardware store. Now, Ben Kanobe may have misspoken, and meant using two 100 pound tanks...those could be manhandled in and out of a pickup and moved around if needed, though moving that much fuel like that is still taking a risk. Better to do like the other fella mentioned, and just have them filled in-place, or mounted to a trailer that's brought to a filling station.

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

I like how you call the size tank by the usable space like the 100 gal tank for example. I hate when it's called 120 when I can only fit 100 in it.. I like having the biggest tank I can like a 500 gal even if I treat ¹/³ to ¾ as empty to full in winter it allows me to stock up when the prices drop during off season etc. Back in the day I use to have 3 100 pounders hooked up like your 2 100 gal but hooked in a way it only drew off 1 at a time as to allow time to carry the one or 2 M/T tanks off to have filled.

Hi Ryan, I have a couple of questions, I'm in a 2bdrm 2bath house, this used to be my mom's house she passed 3yrs ago and me and my daughter and her three kids stay with me at my mom's house. The house is supposed to heat with propane but all our propane heaters are broke, one wall propane heater is in the old house bathroom it doesn't work so we use two electric heaters on that part of the house and on the new part of the house we use one electric heater and the stovetop burners, we used to heat with the oven but it doesn't work so we just leave two stovetop burners on. The old part of the house isn't insulated at all so it's very hard to keep it warm with electric heaters. My question is should I be paying 300.00 for each fill up, in the winter? It gets filled, up to 3 times almost 4 times before spring comes, and also my tank is starting to rust, can I spray paint it? Plus the girl that works at the propane company tells me my tank is rented when I thought my mom owned it and she's had the same one for almost 30yrs or so. I don't believe i can trust her in what she charges me each time I need to fill up and about the tank being rented, I didn't know tanks could be rented and even at that amount of time that it's been here, hope you can answer my questions thank you so much for your video

[@dalesmyth7398]

A 100 lb. bottle will last about 18 days, daily use in a wall hanging propane stove, and should run a icebox as well. A 120 gal tank holds 100 gal. which is 80% full. That will last about 45 days, maybe, if you conserve fuel, and if you're not in a real cold climate. And I'm assuming you meant a heating stove...if you meant a cook stove, it'll last much longer. And assuming you having an icebox that runs off propane, there is only a pilot light running, that'll last a very long time. Here's the problem with the 120 gal tank..remember, it holds 100 gal full, 80%..the propane dealer will not fill it until you get down to 10%, or most wont' anyway. That means, you have about 12 gallons, providing the gauge is reading right..they can be off 1 to 3 gallons. So, you have to call in at 10%, and hope they get there before you run out. Hope this helps, I was a L.P. driver for years.

Up to 420 gallons in a 500 gal tank. 91500 BTU per gallon. Find out the BTU input on your heating unit and do the math. The burner doesn’t run non stop so you can only calculate the usage for while it’s burning. A daily amount of usage would be different to estimate.

[@tennesseetexan1957]

From experience, people tend to confuse the 100 lb tanks with the 100 gallon tanks. While the 100 lb tanks are portable and can be transported for refilling, the 100 gallon (or larger) tanks are meant to be stationary for refilling by propane company trucks. They will not come & refill the 100 lb tanks, so keep that in mind when purchasing. Also, there is a shortage of new tanks( l00 gallon or larger) to be rented or purchased so many people are purchasing them used & refurbished. Know that when buying these older tanks, they must have a Data plate attached and useable valves and pressure gauges. Without these features, propane companies will not refill them. I hope this helps.

[@tward6630]

Maybe depends on the company as far as filling the 100 lbs tanks. I usually keep a fitting adapter with me in my delivery truck. Sometimes customers will ask me to fill them or their grill tanks. And if I already have their order open while filling their stationary tanks, I’ll add it in. Some drivers just don’t want to do the extra work sometimes.

about $1700 for my 1000 gal . in oct 22, cost can vary wildly . one extreem year it went from .90 to $4.20 . Under Joe Biden the Sky is the limit

We were looking at a 240 (NOT from Great Valley) for a gas stove, and a gas log during winter. We would have to pay up front $800 to $1000, included was the first fill. Propane @ 3.99 a gallon, rental fee of $80, installation charge, regulatory charge, fuel charge to come out (really?), taxes, leak check, new regulator. We have the piping already as there's a 100LB tank now for the gas log. We can't afford those kinds of nickel and dime charges. And they won't come out to fill a 100 pounder.

Great job

Those 500 gallon are the only ones you see in Michigans upper peninsula for residential and only natural gas at commercial businesses
