Full Description
This is a used 500-gallon propane tank, available in above-ground or underground configuration, built to ASME Section VIII, Division 1 code and Class 150 certified. The above-ground version has an elliptical head, measures 9 feet 10 inches long with a 37.5-inch outside diameter, stands 3 feet 11-1/2 inches tall (15-inch leg width, 5-foot leg spacing), and weighs approximately 920 lbs empty. The underground version has a hemispherical head, the same 9-foot-10-inch length and 37.5-inch diameter, a 5-foot 9-3/8-inch riser height, and weighs approximately 953 lbs empty; it ships with a Valspar Q-thane ready-to-bury coating for long-term corrosion resistance underground. Filled to the standard 80 percent safety level, either configuration holds approximately 400 gallons of usable propane — enough for whole-home heating, hot water, a backup generator, or pool heating, as well as 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. Once installed and connected, this Class 150 ASME tank is a fixed, non-portable installation rather than a swappable cylinder. Being a used tank, cosmetic condition and exact service history 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.
