Propane tanks from PitStop Propane and Fuels are ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) tanks, meaning the design and standards are governed by ASME. They are made with thicker steel and are slightly heavier than similarly sized DOT tanks. ASME tanks are designed for stationary installation and not for being moved when containing propane. There is no re-certification period required.

What size propane tank do I need installed at my home or business?

Propane tanks are not one size fits all. Even if you and your neighbor have the same size house, you may not need the same size propane tank. Why is that? Because one factor that determines the right size of tank is the propane equipment and appliances in your home. You may be using propane for home heating, cooking and water heating. Your neighbor may be using it only for cooking.

Here are some propane tank sizes and a general guide to what they’re used for:

120-Gallon Tank: For one or two propane appliances, including a fireplace, stove, clothes dryer or water heater.

100-Pound Tank: For only one appliance, like a stove, a cooktop or an indoor propane fireplace.

150-Gallon Tank: For two or three low-Btu appliances, such as water heaters, ranges, wall heaters and space heaters. This size is not large enough for whole-house heating, however.

250-Gallon Tank: For three or more propane appliances, or whole-house heating for a small sized residence.

500-Gallon Tank: For whole-house heating and propane appliances including ranges, water heaters and fireplaces.

1,000-Gallon Tank (or larger): For large homes with propane heating, several propane appliances, and possibly propane pool or spa heaters.
