Full Description
This 500-gallon above-ground propane tank is built to ASME Section VIII, Division 1 code and complies with NFPA 58, rated for 250 psig service across a temperature range of -20°F to 125°F. It's registered with the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors and available with CRN (Canadian Registration Number) registration. Filled to the standard 80 percent safety level, the tank holds approximately 400 gallons of usable propane. It measures 9 feet 10 inches long with a 37.5-inch outside diameter, stands 3 feet 11-1/2 inches tall on its legs (15-inch leg width, 5-foot leg spacing), and weighs approximately 920 lbs empty. The tank has an elliptical head and is finished with a TGIC powder coat exterior for corrosion resistance, with steel galvanized domes available in select colors. It ships vacuum purged and fitted with a #72 liquid level outage valve orifice. Because it's Class 150 ASME certified, this tank becomes a fixed installation once connected — it isn't a portable cylinder. It's well suited to whole-home heating, pool heaters, backup generators, and commercial uses such as cooking, dry cleaning, and crop drying, and is generally recommended for homes in the 2,500 to 4,500 square-foot range. Above-ground installation saves the excavation cost and time of a below-ground tank, though it does mean the tank sits visibly above grade rather than being buried.

Common Questions
How does the deposit and reservation process work?
A refundable deposit of up to $1,000 (or the item's full price if it's lower) holds this unit and locks the quoted price for 48–72 hours while we confirm availability and arrange delivery. If your order doesn't move forward, the deposit is fully refunded.
Do you deliver, and does it cost extra?
Yes, we deliver nationwide. Delivery is coordinated after reservation and quoted based on your location and the unit's size, so it isn't included in the listed price.
What's your return policy?
Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery. Return shipping and any related costs are the customer's responsibility.
Can I write this purchase off as a business expense?
Businesses may qualify to deduct the full purchase price in the year it's placed in service under Section 179, rather than depreciating it over several years. Rules and limits vary, so this isn't tax advice — talk to your accountant about your specific situation.
