250 gallon propane tank for a generator
Generac's installation manual recommends a minimum 250 US gallon LP tank for its air-cooled home standby generators and says to ask your propane supplier to size the tank to the generator. Do not connect a home standby generator to a 20 or 30 lb cylinder. Our guide to sizing a propane tank for a standby generator works through the fuel draw by generator size. Read the generator sizing guide.
250 gallon propane tank - common questions
- How much does a 250 gallon propane tank cost?
- Our 250 gallon propane tanks (2 listed) are priced from $1,250.00 to $1,700.00, depending on whether the tank is above ground or underground and whether it is new or used. The table on this page shows each tank with its optional installation add-on.
- How big is a 250 gallon propane tank?
- A 250 gallon tank measures about 94" L x 30" D and weighs about 1,300-1,360 lbs when full. Dimensions vary a few inches between manufacturers.
- How much propane does a 250 gallon tank hold?
- Tank capacity is quoted as water capacity. Tanks are filled to about 80%, so a 250 gallon tank holds roughly 200 gallons of propane.
- Should I buy an above ground or underground 250 gallon propane tank?
- Above ground tanks cost less to install and every fitting stays visible for inspection. Underground tanks keep the yard clear and need cathodic protection, an excavation and a professional installer. Our guide to underground versus above ground propane tanks compares the two.
- Does the 250 gallon propane tank come with propane in it?
- No. Every tank we sell ships empty. After a licensed installer sets it to NFPA 58 and your local code, a licensed propane supplier of your choice makes the first fill.
- How is a 250 gallon propane tank delivered, and what does delivery cost?
- Tanks ship by freight from the nearest of our three US yards to any address in the 48 contiguous states, with liftgate service on residential deliveries. Delivery is a flat $350.00, shown and charged at checkout. Delivery is curbside; moving and setting the tank is part of installation.
- Can you install a 250 gallon propane tank?
- Most of these tanks offer professional installation as a fixed-price add-on at checkout, carried out by a licensed local installer we arrange. The add-on price for each tank is in the table on this page. Permits and local authority fees are not included.
