Above-Ground Propane Tank
An above-ground propane tank is less expensive to install than an underground propane tank. If you don’t mind the look of the exposed propane tank, and local weather doesn’t preclude it, installing the propane tank above-ground saves money both on installation and on maintenance and repair costs. If you live in a flood zone, you might be required to install the propane tank above ground.
Different portable propane tank sizes give you options when it comes to how much equipment you want to power and how long you can operate before you run out of gas.

There’s also the risk of “floating,” meaning that the tank could shift under the ground if it’s not completely settled on a sturdy foundation. Above-ground tanks, such as this, stand several inches off the ground and are safer for flooding conditions.
Above-ground propane tank installation and removal
Some homeowners only need propane to fuel their propane gas fireplaces. Others, however, heat their entire homes with clean-burning propane fuel.
Propane stores well are clean-burning and are easy to refill. Simply lift the lid on the propane tank and check the gauge inside. The best time to call your propane dealer for a refill is when it’s at 20-30 percent full.
Propane is odorless, but an odorant is added to it so that it will give off a smell if it’s leaking. If you have questions about the operation of your appliance or gas systems, contact your local gas dealer. Never allow your gas container to be filled above the maximum safe level. A regulator is required for use to reduce the pressure of the tank to the working, usable pressure.

1,000 Gallon Propane Tank (Horizontal)
Once you’ve made the wise decision to turn to propane to power some or all of your appliances, such as your furnace, endless hot water heater, and an alternate heat source such as a stove or fireplace, you’re going to need a place to store that gas.
How to Figure Out What Size Propane Tank

Inter-modal Container Ltd uniquely utilizes UT Technology – bombarding thirty-two (32) shear waves of sound energy through the weld at varying angles from both sides effectively providing a 3D image of the weld for the ultimate integrity and safety inspection.
Uses
Say you live in a 3,000-square-foot home and rely on propane gas to heat your home and power a backup generator in case of power loss. You’re also using propane for a gas fireplace, your tankless water heater system, and a pool heater. And, you also have a gas line attached to your outdoor grill that uses propane gas to fire up that grill for barbecues or family outdoor cooking.
That’s a lot of propane to rely on, and it would be recommended that you have a 1,000-gallon horizontal propane tank installed on your property to hold the amount of gas you would need over a one-month period.
You might also be a business owner who has decided to utilize propane as your main energy source. Chances are the 1,000-gallon storage tank will work best for you as well, as this size tank is recommended for commercial cleaning appliances, commercial cooking needs, commercial heating, and even crop drying equipment.
Recommended Locations
Just where would you install a propane tank of this size? For a 1,000-gallon horizontal propane tank, it is recommended that it be installed at least ten feet from the home or commercial building. These tanks can be installed above or underground.
1000 Gallon Bulk Tank
This tank is for high-end users. This includes large houses, houses with heated pools, restaurants, resale outlets, etc. Installation requirements include being at least 25′ from any important building.
If you choose to have your storage tank installed below ground for aesthetic purposes, it is highly recommended that you rely on professionals like those available from Diversified Energy. These professionals have knowledge about proper codes and safety requirements that you or an unlicensed contractor might be unfamiliar with.
Both above- and underground propane storage tanks should be installed away from any vehicular traffic; underground tanks should not be installed beneath driveways or outdoor buildings such as a garage or shed.
Offering Both Horizontal and Vertical
Diversified Energy offers all of the tank sizes listed earlier on this page; however, only the 120-gallon propane storage tank is offered in horizontal and vertical configurations. Diversified sells the 1,000-gallon propane storage tank only in the horizontal configuration.
Vertical 1,000-gallon propane tanks are less common than horizontal ones. The horizontal shape allows for high-capacity storage with low visibility when installed above ground; if a 1,000-gallon tank is vertical,
it would be harder to install inconspicuously behind shrubs or hedges as you can with a vertical 120-gallon tank. Many homeowners and business owners prefer tanks to be installed in such a way as to be discreet; when the underground option is not available, you can opt for a vertical tank that can be placed behind shrubs, fences, or outbuildings.
For installation purposes, a vertical 1,000-gallon propane storage tank would simply require too much excavation to place underground; the horizontal shape makes it easier to install it underground and leave the tank dome visible for filling purposes.
Benefits
The main benefit of having a 1,000-gallon horizontal propane tank is that you’re going to have all the propane you need over a one-month period to power all of the appliances that propane gas is used to operate.
Essentially, you’re guaranteed not to run out of propane before your next propane delivery with this large size storage tank.
The corrosion-resistant steel of your 1,000-gallon tank makes it safe to install below ground, so you have the benefit of not having the tank in sight if you choose not to and also to increase your outdoor space, as you won’t have this large tank taking up any part of your yard or business property.
An added benefit of a 1,000-gallon tank is if you choose such a tank if your home is not quite as large as that recommended for this size tank, or if you’re powering fewer appliances then you would need a 1,000-gallon tank to power.
Thus, you would have a larger amount of propane gas on hand for your needs and require fewer deliveries over the course of a year—cost savings!

Your geographical location and local climate can also play a role in choosing your propane tank size. For example, a tank for heating in milder climates may not need to be as big as a tank for heating in a colder climate.

Why Is It Important to Pick the Right Size Propane Tank?
This guide is devoted to helping you pick the right size propane tank. However, you may be wondering: why is it so important that I pick the right size?
The right size propane tank can help you save on your energy bills by controlling how often you need to fill it up.
While buying a tank that is too big isn’t too much of a disadvantage, buying a tank that is too small will affect your budget because you will need deliveries more often. Also, since you’re buying a smaller quantity of propane, the cost might be slightly higher.
1,000 Gallon propane Tanks transportation
Long story short about the 1,000-gallon tank? It does everything that the 500-gallon tank does, but it is twice as big.
That means this tank is also suitable for heating homes and pools and for powering generators. However, because this tank is so large, you should not buy it unless your home is at least 4,500 square feet.
1,000-gallon tanks are also popular for agricultural uses.
