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 included - 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.

About the 250 UnderGround Propane Tank ASME / DOT
A 250-gallon underground propane tank is a durable, heavy-duty storage vessel designed to securely contain propane fuel for residential or commercial use. These tanks are typically constructed from high-quality steel and are engineered to withstand underground installation, protecting them from external elements and potential damage.
Measuring approximately 7 feet long and 2 feet in diameter, a 250-gallon underground propane tank is compact enough to fit discreetly into most residential or commercial properties while still providing an ample supply of propane for various applications. The tank’s underground placement helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of the property by keeping the tank out of sight while also maximizing available space.
These tanks are equipped with safety features such as pressure relief valves, excess flow valves, and liquid level gauges to ensure proper operation and prevent potential hazards. Additionally, they are coated with a protective layer to resist corrosion and prolong their lifespan, even when buried underground.
Installation of a 250-gallon underground propane tank requires adherence to local building codes and regulations, as well as, coordination with propane suppliers for proper placement and connection.
Overall, a 250-gallon tank offers a convenient and for storing propane fuel, providing a steady and consistent
A 250 gallon underground propane tank, out of sight
A buried 250 gallon tank holds about 200 usable gallons - enough for home heating in a smaller house, or for hot water, a pool heater and a standby generator in a larger one - without a white cylinder sitting in the garden. Only the dome shows at ground level, flush enough to mow around, and that is the whole point: the capacity of a stationary tank with none of the visual cost.
What burying involves
Underground tanks are built for it rather than adapted to it: a corrosion-resistant coating, a shroud and dome protecting the valves and gauge at grade, and an anode for cathodic protection in the soil. The work is a correctly sized excavation, bedding, the tank set at code depth with proper setbacks, backfill, and the gas line run to the house. Add installation at checkout and it is priced in with the tank - excavation included - rather than quoted back to you afterwards.
Delivery and first fill
Ships by freight to any address in the 48 contiguous states at our flat rate. It arrives empty; a licensed propane supplier makes the first fill once the tank is set and the system has been leak-tested. If an above ground tank would suit the site better, the 250 gallon above ground version is the same capacity for less installed cost.
