A 120 gallon ASME steel propane tank, 24″ x 68″. The standard choice for a single appliance: a range, water heater, gas fireplace, garage heater or standby generator.

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.

96 gallons is 80% of this tank's 120-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

About the 120 Gallon Above Ground ASME Steel Propane Tank

The 120 Gallon Above Ground ASME Steel Propane Tank is a new 120 gallon steel vessel measuring 24 by 68 inches and weighing 257 lbs empty. It is a compact, refillable stationary tank for a household or workshop that needs more than a grill cylinder can hold but much less than a heating-size tank. Professional installation can be added for $850.

Key specifications

  • Capacity: 120 gallons
  • Dimensions: 24 in x 68 in
  • Empty weight: 257 lbs
  • Material: steel, ASME certified
  • Placement: above ground

120 or 250 gallons

Pick the 120 when propane serves a defined load you can name. If you expect to add appliances later, or the tank would need filling more often than your supplier visits, the 250 gallon above ground tank gives you room to grow. The size chart lines up the capacities if you are between sizes.

New or used

A new tank comes with factory-fitted valves and no service history, which removes questions at the first fill. If keeping the price down matters more, the used 120 vertical propane tank is the pre-owned alternative, with the checks that come with buying used.

Common questions

Is it filled in place or swapped like a cylinder? Filled in place. The supplier's driver fills it through the double-check filler valve, and the float gauge shows the level as a percentage of capacity.

What else do I need besides the tank? A regulator and gas line to the appliance. They are not included with the tank, and the installer connects them.

How is it delivered? By LTL freight, curbside, with liftgate service on residential deliveries, from the nearest of our nine US yards.

What a 120 gallon tank runs

A 120 gallon tank is the standard answer for a single propane appliance: a kitchen range, a water heater, a gas fireplace, a garage heater or a standby generator. Its 24-inch footprint tucks against a wall on a small pad, and at 68 inches tall it stays easy to screen from view. For whole-home heating you would step up to a 250 or 500 gallon vessel - this size is about serving one or two appliances economically.

Installation and filling

This is an ASME-certified steel vessel built for stationary above ground installation. It ships empty: a licensed installer sets the tank - clearances from buildings, property lines and ignition sources follow NFPA 58 and your local code - and a licensed propane supplier makes the first fill on site. At 257 lbs empty it is a two-person or equipment move, and delivery is by freight with the cost confirmed for your address before you pay.
