This size is installed as a commercial job, so it is quoted for your site rather than priced online. Ask us and we will arrange a licensed installer.

Ask about installation

1600 gallons is 80% of this tank's 2000-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.

About the 2000 Gallon Underground Propane Tank

The New 2000 Gallon Propane Tank is a bulk storage vessel built to ASME Section VIII, Division 1 and finished ready to bury, with its dome and lid included. It is pressure rated at 250 psig and complies with NFPA 58. It suits operators who need a very large propane reserve on site but would rather not have it standing in view.

Built for burial

Everything about the finish is aimed at a long life underground. The shell carries a red oxide TGIC powder coating, and a black polyethylene shroud protects the fittings while keeping them easy to reach. An anode bolt is attached on the riser, giving a secure point to make the cathodic protection connection; ask your installer what anode arrangement your soil calls for. It also carries a duplicate stainless steel nameplate, and dual lifting lugs give the crew two rigging points when lowering it into the excavation. Steel galvanized domes are offered in select colors.

Key specifications

  • Code: ASME Section VIII, Division 1; complies with NFPA 58
  • Pressure rating: 250 psig
  • Listed dimensions (L x W x D): 23 ft 9 in x 46.77 in x 5 ft 3 7/8 in
  • Finish: red oxide TGIC powder coat
  • Fittings: polyethylene shroud, anode bolt on riser, #72 liquid level outage valve orifice
  • Vacuum purged; can be evacuated to a full (14.7 psi) vacuum
  • Included: tank dome and lid

What to check before ordering

A vessel this long needs equipment to lift it and an excavation dug to suit, so confirm the hole, the bedding material and the crane or machine with your installer first. Check the ground for a high water table or rock, since both change how a buried tank is anchored. Plan the riser location so the delivery driver can reach the fill and gauge under the dome without crossing soft ground. Other buried sizes are in the underground propane tanks range, including the 1000 gallon underground tank.

Common questions

Is the dome included? Yes, the tank comes with its dome and lid.

Does it need purging before the first fill? It is vacuum purged at the factory, which saves your supplier the preparation step.

Bulk propane storage for commercial and agricultural sites

At 2,000 gallons this is bulk storage rather than a household tank: about 1,600 usable gallons at the 80% fill line. It is the size that suits crop drying, greenhouse and poultry heating, fleet and forklift refuelling, manufacturing process heat, and multi-building sites where a delivery truck visiting weekly is not an option. The economics are simple - the bigger the vessel, the fewer the deliveries and the better the price per gallon you can negotiate.

Buying at this size

A 2,000 gallon vessel is a site decision as much as a purchase. Setback distances from buildings, property lines and ignition sources are set by NFPA 58 and your local authority having jurisdiction, and at this capacity the requirements are stricter than for a domestic tank - as is the access a delivery truck needs to reach it. Talk to us before you order if you are not certain the site will take it; we would rather answer that question first than send a vessel this size to a location that cannot receive it.

Delivery and installation

Ships by freight to the 48 contiguous states at our flat rate. Installation at this capacity is quoted for the site rather than priced online - ask and we will arrange a licensed installer. The tank ships empty and is charged on site by a licensed propane supplier.
