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.

⚠️ 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!

As a gen tech, I'm glad a local propane supplier we work with hosts a propane safety class every few years at the local fire department. It just might save your life or property.

Very smart way of keeping the business of the propane refill with the remote monitoring, full cycle business including the installation

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.

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.

One thing that you forgot to mention about a buried tank is once you bury it, it is only worth the value of scrap since they can not be sold as propane tanks and buried somewhere else. Above ground tanks keep their value and are reusable until the ASME tag is removed.

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.

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). Plus then you know you're getting exactly as much as you paid for!

I got 3 120's daisy chained.. we use it as a second heat source with a wood stove. It's nice knowing I always have roughly 360 gallons of propane on hand if shit ever hit the fan.

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.

Absolutely not, the primary discussion revolved around homeowners branching into small commercial accounts, and what they deal in. RV cylinders, disposable cylinders, refillable alternatives for said disposable cylinders, RV mounted tanks, fiberglass cylinders, forklift cylinders, and some sizes they may not deal in are all omitted.

I'm considering buying 2 - 120 gal used tanks looking exactly like the ones in your video from someone locally for a new home generator setup. The guy is asking 2k for both tanks the tanks are full and delivery is not included. How could I have them hauled to my house who could I call to do that and what could I expect to pay ?

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.

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.

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

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.
