Propane provides a dependable source of heat and energy for homes and businesses. Many people use this affordable fuel for everything from heating home air to powering up appliances. If you’re wondering which size tank will most effectively fulfill the needs of your property, consult the helpful guide below. 

Which Size Propane Tank Do You Need?

Small (20 & 33 Pounds)

The smallest propane tanks weigh 20 pounds and hold about five gallons of fuel. They’re used most commonly for backyard grills and barbecue pits, though they’re also the perfect size for outdoor heaters. Slightly larger, 33-pound tanks hold eight gallons of propane and are ideal for running forklifts, backhoes, and other heavy machinery in warehouses or on construction sites.

Medium (100 & 420 Pounds)

Propane tanks of 100 pounds hold approximately 25 gallons of fuel. They deliver an adequate supply of propane for fireplaces, ovens, stoves, ranges, dryers, and temporary heating systems on job sites. Tanks of 420 pounds have 100 gallons of capacity, which is enough power to HVAC systems, water heaters, pool heaters, and generators on both residential and commercial properties.

Large (500; 1,000; & 30,000 Gallons)

Five-hundred- and 1,000-gallon tanks contain enough propane to heat entire commercial and residential properties, from 2,500 to 4,500 square feet. They also successfully provide energy to all appliances in kitchens and laundry facilities. For agricultural properties, they’re the best tank size for crop drying. Thirty-thousand-gallon tanks are the largest available on the market and are typically used in commercial facilities and power plants.
