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.
200 gallons is 80% of this tank's 250-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.
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.

About the 250 Gallon Above Ground Propane Tank
The 250 Gallon Above Ground Propane Tank is a new ASME tank for a pad installation, measuring 7 ft 2 1/2 in long by 31.5 in wide by 4 ft 5/8 in high and holding approximately 200 gallons of propane at its fill limit. It is commonly used for hot water, a smaller pool heater or a standby generator. Professional installation can be added for $1,150.

New, used, or a size up
A new tank arrives with factory-fitted valves and no history, so the first fill is straightforward. If budget is the main concern, the used 250 gallon propane tank is the same size with the checks that come with buying used. If propane will heat an average or larger home on its own, step up to the 500 gallon above ground tank.
Common questions
How much space does it need? A level pad a little over 7 feet long and around 31.5 inches wide, plus the clearances your installer applies. Setbacks are set by NFPA 58 and your local authority.
What connection does the delivery truck use? The 1-3/4 inch ACME bulk-fill connection on the double-check filler valve.
What a 250 gallon above ground propane tank will run
250 gallons - about 200 usable at the 80% fill line - is the step up from cylinders to a proper stationary supply. It is the right size for a smaller home on propane heat, or for a larger home running hot water, a kitchen range, a pool heater or a standby generator without putting those on a tank that needs refilling every few weeks. It is also the smallest horizontal tank most suppliers will deliver into, which matters when you want bulk pricing rather than exchange pricing.
Above ground: simpler, and cheaper to install
An above ground installation needs a level pad and clear access, not an excavator. That keeps the installed cost well below the buried equivalent, keeps the valves and gauge where you can read them, and makes service straightforward. Setbacks from buildings, property lines and ignition sources follow NFPA 58 and your local code - your installer will site it accordingly. If you would rather the tank were not visible, the 250 gallon underground version is the same capacity buried.
Delivery, installation and first fill
Ships by freight to any address in the 48 contiguous states at our flat rate, curbside on a pallet with liftgate service. Add professional installation at checkout and a licensed installer we arrange sets the tank, fits the regulator and gas line and leak-tests every joint. The tank ships empty; your propane supplier makes the first fill on site.
