Valves & fittings included

ACME fill valve
Bulk-fill connection. This tank ships under factory vacuum seal - the first fill breaks that seal through the POL valve with methanol, and every fill after it goes through the ACME valve.
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 500 Gallon Above Ground Propane Tank - ASME/DOT

Product Description

This 500 gal propane tank size is perfect for central heating and hot water heaters. Typically, 500 gallon propane tanks are used for whole home systems, home heating, generators, and pool heat. 500 gallon propane tanks are also used for commercial applications, such as heating, cooking, dry cleaning, and crop drying. The tank is about 3′ 11 1/2″ tall and 9′ 10″ in length. This 500 gal propane tank size is appropriate for most homes ranging from 2500 to 4500 square feet. It is the smallest tank size that metered systems for communities will be drawn from. LP Propane offers a 500 gallon propane tank for sale at the best price.With this above ground propane tank for sale, you can save installation time and costs compared to underground models. The underground tank requires professionals to excavate your lawn. There’s also the risk of “floating,” meaning that the tank could shift under the ground if it’s not completely settled on a sturdy foundation. Above ground tanks stand several inches off the ground and are safer for flooding conditions.

Propane stores well, clean-burning, and is easy to refill. Simply lift the lid on the propane tank, and check the gauge inside. The best time to call your propane dealer for a refill is when it’s at 20-30 percent full. Propane is odorless, but an odorant is added to it so that it will give off a smell if it’s leaking. If you have questions about the operation of your appliance or gas systems, contact your local gas dealer. Never allow your gas container to be filled above the maximum safe level.
