Whether you need to light up the grill, heat the hot tub, or use the dryer to finish your laundry, propane tanks are efficient and cost-effective. With a variety of sizes to choose from, depending on the appliances you have, it can be difficult to know what size you need. The propane experts at Guadalupe Gas are knowledgeable about the different ways propane can be used and can explain what the four most common propane tank sizes are used for.

4 Common Propane Tank Sizes & Their Uses

100-Pound Tank

When you only need to cook or dry your clothes, a 100-pound propane tank can be more than sufficient to take care of the job. Sitting above the ground, this tank is good for homes that use a limited amount of propane because it holds a little over 23 gallons inside.

100-Gallon Tank

Sometimes confused with the 100-pound tank because of the similar name, the 100-gallon tank also sits above the ground and is often used in mobile homes and small homes. This tank can assist with whole house heating and water heating as well as gas ranges and dryers.

500-Gallon Tank

Sitting either above or below the ground, 500-gallon tanks can be used in residential and commercial settings. The tank can fuel a range of appliances including furnaces, fireplaces, water heaters, clothes dryers, and your stove top. If your home is bigger than 1,500 square feet, a 500-gallon tank is usually recommended for you.

1000-Gallon Tank

Despite its large size, 1000-gallon propane tanks can also sit above or below the ground. This tank is usually used for commercial settings or agricultural purposes.
