The 500 Gallon Above Ground Propane Tank is a new ASME-listed vessel on legs, sized for homes that run most of the house on propane and for small businesses with a steady draw.
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.
400 gallons is 80% of this tank's 500-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
- 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.
Home delivery - 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.
- The carrier calls the number on your order to book a delivery window, and someone must be there to receive it.
- Delivery is one flat rate, shown and charged at checkout - there is no separate freight invoice afterwards.
- Ships from the nearest of our nine US yards - in CT, NJ, PA, OH, MI, IL, MO and TX.
- Delivered anywhere in the 48 contiguous states.

About the 500 Gallon Above Ground Propane Tank - ASME
The 500 Gallon Above Ground Propane Tank is a new ASME-listed vessel on legs, sized for homes that run most of the house on propane and for small businesses with a steady draw. It is 9 ft 10 in long, 37.5 inches in diameter and roughly 3 ft 11 1/2 in tall, and weighs 920 lbs empty. Professional installation is available for $1,450.
Who it suits
This capacity is the usual match for whole-home propane, where a furnace or boiler, water heater, range, dryer, generator and pool heater all draw from one tank. The site's sizing guidance puts it with homes of about 2,500-4,500 sq ft, but appliance count, climate and insulation move the answer more than floor area does, so use that range as a starting point and confirm it with your supplier. It also covers commercial loads such as space heating, cooking, dry cleaning and crop drying.
Key specifications
- Water capacity: 500 gallons
- Outside diameter: 37.5 inches
- Overall length: 9 ft 10 in
- Overall height: 3 ft 11 1/2 in
- Leg width: 15 inches
- Leg spacing: 5 ft 0 in
- Head type: elliptical
- Empty weight: 920 lbs
First fill and setup
It arrives empty and under a factory vacuum seal. On the first fill your propane provider breaks the seal by charging the POL valve with methanol; after that, every delivery goes in through the ACME bulk-fill valve. Because it stands on legs above grade, there is nothing to excavate, and the leg spacing above tells your installer what the pad or blocks need to carry. Clearances to buildings, lot lines and ignition sources are set by fire code and your local authority; your installer sites the tank. To keep it out of sight, compare the 500 gallon underground tank, or see the used 500 gallon tank if budget leads.
Common questions
Is this tank new? Yes. It is a new vessel that still carries its factory vacuum seal.
Can I relocate it later? Once it is set and plumbed in, treat it as a permanent stationary tank rather than a portable one.
