A used 120 gallon ASME propane tank built for underground installation. Once buried, only the service lid shows above ground.
A licensed local installer we arrange excavates, beds and buries the tank, fits the dome, regulator and gas line, backfills and leak-tests every joint. The price shown is the price: the dig is included, not quoted afterwards. 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 UnderGround Propane Tank ASME
The 120 UnderGround Propane Tank is a refurbished ASME vessel with a 120 gallon capacity, made to be buried. It is a fit for a household or small building that wants a dedicated propane supply for a few appliances and would rather keep the yard clear. Underground installation, excavation included, can be added to the order for $1,600.
Burying a tank this size, or setting it on a pad
At 120 gallons, the decision between burial and an above ground set comes down to the site and how much the tank's appearance matters to you. Going underground means a dug hole, bedding, backfill and a trench for the gas line, so the job is bigger and costs more. In return you get a lawn with nothing standing on it and a shell that sits below the weather. A tank on a pad goes in faster, and its whole surface stays visible for inspection. If a spot beside the house works, compare this listing with the new 120 gallon above ground ASME steel tank.
Planning the job
- Get underground utilities marked before anyone digs. Burial depth and setbacks are set by the NFPA propane code and your local authority, and your installer sites the tank to meet them.
- Leave a clear route for the delivery hose to reach the dome, since filling and gauge reading both happen there.
- Think about the path from the tank to your appliances; the gas line runs underground to the building as part of the work.
- Read how installation is arranged before you add it at checkout.
Common questions
How full will the supplier fill it? To about 80% of capacity. The space left over lets the liquid expand as it warms, and the same limit applies to every propane tank regardless of size. A fixed level liquid gauge tells the driver when that point is reached.
What does the float gauge reading mean? It shows the level as a percentage of the tank's capacity, so a reading near 80% means the tank is full and a falling number tells you when to book the next delivery.
What does the installation add-on cover? Setting the tank underground, with the excavation included, for $1,600 on top of the tank price.
What a buried 120 gallon tank is for
At 120 gallons this is the smallest tank most installers will bury, and it suits a household running one or two appliances - a range and a water heater, a garage heater, or a standby generator - where the point is not to look at a tank in the garden. Buried, it is out of sight and out of the weather; only the dome sits at ground level for filling and for the gauge.
Condition and what arrives
This is refurbished stock, not a new vessel: it has been professionally serviced, fitted with new valves and volume gauges, stripped of paint and rust, given new domes and data plates, and pressure tested before sale. It is an ASME vessel and ships empty, as every tank must - a licensed installer sets it and a licensed propane supplier makes the first fill on site. Because condition varies between individual refurbished tanks, call us if you need the exact valve configuration on the one you are buying confirmed before you order.
