Full Description

This is a used 1,000-gallon propane tank, built to ASME Section VIII, Division 1 code and rated for 250 psig service across a temperature range of -20°F to 125°F, in compliance with NFPA 58. It measures approximately 16 feet long with a 41-inch diameter, and weighs roughly 1,700 to 1,800 lbs empty, depending on whether it's the above-ground or underground configuration — underground tanks ship with a durable ready-to-bury coating (phenolic epoxy powder coat, urethane, or liquid epoxy, depending on manufacturing location), a green composite dome, and an anode stud on the riser pipe for cathodic protection against soil currents. Filled to the standard 80 percent safety level, this tank holds approximately 800 gallons of usable propane — roughly 73,200,000 BTU at full capacity. That capacity makes it well suited to large commercial kitchens and restaurants, propane resale and bottle-filling operations, agricultural use, and larger homes (generally 4,500 square feet and up) running multiple propane appliances. Two or more 1,000-gallon tanks can be piped together for higher-volume or high-demand service. As with any propane storage tank, installation must follow state and local codes, including required clearance from buildings and property lines, and — for underground installation — an anode bag placed around the tank for corrosion protection. Being a used tank, condition will vary by unit;

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.
