An LP (Liquefied Petroleum) Tank, commonly known as a propane tank, is a cylindrical, pressurized container designed to store liquefied petroleum gas, primarily propane. These tanks are made from durable materials like carbon steel or aluminum and come in various sizes for both residential and commercial use. Propane tanks supply fuel for various appliances, including water heaters, grills, ovens, cooktops, furnaces, fireplaces, clothes dryers, generators, and space heaters.
LP tanks are available in various sizes, ranging from small, portable cylinders to large, স্থায়ী storage tanks. Common sizes include 20 lb, 33 lb, 100 lb, 120-gallon, 250-gallon, 500-gallon, and 1,000-gallon tanks. Smaller tanks are typically used for grills and portable heaters, while larger tanks can power multiple home appliances or even entire homes. Manufacturers of LP tanks include Quality Steel Corporation, Manchester Tank, Flame King, and Worthington Pro Grade. The price of an LP tank varies significantly based on its size, material, and whether it is installed above ground or underground. A 20-lb propane tank may cost around $35, while larger tanks like a 500-gallon tank can range from $1,200 to $2,500. Installation costs can also vary, with underground tanks costing more due to excavation and plumbing expenses. LP tanks are widely available at retailers like Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Tractor Supply Co., and various propane suppliers.
