About the Vapor Appliance RV / Food Truck Propane Tank - 12″ x 28″, 12.2 Gallons

This vapor appliance tank is a new 12 x 28 inch propane tank, rated at 12.2 gallons and holding approximately 10 gallons of propane, made by Manchester Tank to RVIA standards for RVs and food trucks. It supplies propane vapor to onboard appliances, and its fill, service and bleeder connections are piped out to a remote point so the tank can be mounted where it fits while staying easy to fill and service.

Key specifications

  • Size: 12 in. x 28 in.
  • Rated volume: 12.2 gallons; propane capacity approximately 10 gallons
  • Empty weight: 47 lbs
  • Remote fill: 1/2 in. male flare
  • Remote service valve with solenoid: 3/8 in. male flare
  • Remote bleeder: 1/4 in. male flare
  • Gauge: sight gauge; a remote-read or direct-read dial is sold separately
  • Maker: Manchester Tank, built to RVIA standards

Why two capacity figures

The 12.2 gallon figure is the vessel's volume; the roughly 10 gallons is how much propane it actually carries. Propane tanks are only filled to about 80% so the liquid has room to expand as it warms, and that gap is what you see between the two numbers.

What the remote setup does

The solenoid on the service valve lets the gas supply be opened and closed electrically from a switch, so staff can shut the propane off without reaching the tank. Bringing the fill and bleeder out to a remote point means the station attendant fills from an accessible spot instead of under or behind the vehicle. Your installer runs the flare lines to that point and from the service outlet to your regulator.

Common questions

What can it run? It is a vapor appliance tank, built to feed appliances such as a cooktop, griddle, fryer, refrigerator or water heater in an RV or food truck.

Is it new? Yes, new from Manchester Tank, and it ships empty. For a larger motorhome chassis tank, see the Manchester motorhome ASME tank; regulators and fittings are under propane accessories.
