ASME CertifiedShips Empty
This tank ships empty. You can add a first fill of propane below. If you do, the tank is filled only after it has been installed and has passed its leak check - a licensed local propane supplier we arrange makes the fill, usually a few days to two weeks after installation. How refueling works

The 1000 Gallon Above Ground Propane Tank is a new ASME vessel for bulk storage on a pad, measuring 15 ft 10 7/8 in long by 40.96 in wide by 4 ft 9 1/2 in high and rated at 250 psig.
A licensed local installer we arrange sets the tank on a prepared pad, fits the regulator and gas line, and leak-tests every joint before handover. Save 5% on the tank and installation together.
800 gallons is 80% of this tank's 1000-gallon capacity, the legal fill limit, at $2.67 per gallon. The tank still ships empty: a licensed local propane supplier fills it after it is installed and passes its leak check - usually a few days to two weeks after installation. The pre-fill leak check and account setup are free when you order the fill with your tank. Save 5% on the tank and fill together, or 10% with professional installation as well. How refueling works

Valves & fittings included
- Fill valve
- Double-check filler valve - the connection the delivery truck fills through. 250 gallons and up take the 1-3/4 inch ACME bulk-fill connection.
- Service / vapor withdrawal valve
- The vapor outlet your installer connects the first-stage regulator to.
- Pressure relief valve
- Required safety device. Vents to atmosphere if tank pressure rises above the set point, then reseats.
- Float gauge
- Dial gauge reading tank level as a percentage of capacity.
- Liquid withdrawal valve
- Draws liquid propane rather than vapor, for transfer and high-demand liquid service.
- Vapor return valve
- Returns vapor to the delivery vehicle during filling and relieves pressure back to another vessel.
Valves are factory-fitted to the vessel. The regulator, gas line and the propane itself are not included - a licensed installer connects the tank and a licensed supplier makes the first fill.
Home delivery - shipped by freight to your address
- Liftgate service is included on residential freight deliveries.
- Delivery is curbside: the driver brings it to the vehicle access point, not to the pad. Moving and setting the tank is installation work.
- The carrier calls the number on your order to book a delivery window, and someone must be there to receive it.
- Delivery is one flat rate, shown and charged at checkout - there is no separate freight invoice afterwards.
- Ships from the nearest of our nine US yards - in CT, NJ, PA, OH, MI, IL, MO and TX.
- Delivered anywhere in the 48 contiguous states.

About the 1000 Gallon Above Ground Propane Tank
The 1000 Gallon Above Ground Propane Tank is a new ASME vessel for bulk storage on a pad, measuring 15 ft 10 7/8 in long by 40.96 in wide by 4 ft 9 1/2 in high and rated at 250 psig. It suits large homes, properties running heat, a pool heater and a generator together, and commercial sites that want fewer deliveries. Professional installation can be added for $1,950.

- Pressure rating: 250 psig, rated from -20°F
- Finish: powder coated
- Duplicate stainless steel nameplate and dual lifting lugs
- Vacuum purged, evacuated to a full (14.7 psi) vacuum
- #72 liquid level outage valve orifice
Preparing the site
At well over 15 feet long, this tank needs more planning than a 500. The pad has to be level and sized for the full length, and the delivery truck needs a route close enough for its hose to reach the fill valve, which takes the 1-3/4 inch ACME bulk-fill connection. Setbacks from buildings, property lines and ignition sources are set by NFPA 58 and your local authority, and your installer sites the tank. If the yard cannot take something this long, a 500 gallon above ground tank may be easier to place; the size chart compares the options.
Common questions
What does vacuum purged mean for me? The air was pulled out of the vessel at the factory, so it does not need to be purged of air before propane goes in.
Are the regulator and gas line included? No. The valves come fitted; the installer supplies and connects the regulator and line.
What a 1,000 gallon above ground propane tank runs
A 1,000 gallon above ground propane tank is the size you reach for when a 500 stops being enough: a large or poorly insulated home on full propane heat, a home with a pool heater and a standby generator on the same supply, or a commercial site that cannot afford to run dry. Filled to the 80% safe level it holds about 800 usable gallons, which is the real reason people size up - fewer delivery visits, and the freedom to fill when the price is low rather than when the gauge is low.
Above ground, and why that is usually the cheaper answer
Above ground is the straightforward installation: a level pad, the tank set on it, the regulator and gas line run to the house. There is no excavation, no anode bag and no dome, which is why it costs less to install than the buried equivalent and why it is easier to inspect and service afterwards. If you would rather not look at it, we sell the same capacity as a 1,000 gallon underground tank.
Delivery, installation and first fill
Shipped by freight to any address in the 48 contiguous states at our flat rate, delivered curbside on a pallet with liftgate service. Professional installation can be added at checkout and is carried out by a licensed installer we arrange in your area. Like every tank here it ships empty - your propane supplier makes the first fill on site once the installer has set and tested it.
