Types of domestic propane tanks

Above ground propane tank sizes and their advantages

Pinnacle Propane’s range of domestic above ground propane tank sizes includes options from 250 to 1000 gallons. Above ground storage tanks have several advantages.

  • Cost-effective

    Above-ground tanks are generally less expensive to install compared to underground tanks.
  • Easy installation

    All that's required is a concrete base, simplifying the installation process.
  • Low maintenance

    Above-ground tanks typically require minimal maintenance.
  • Other considerations

    Above-ground tanks may be more susceptible to natural disasters like storms or earthquakes. Additionally, some may find the size of residential propane tanks visually unappealing in their backyard.

Commercial propane tanks

How big is a commercial propane tank?

When it comes to commercial propane tanks, size matters. While the typical starting point is a 1000-gallon tank, the ideal size depends on various factors. 

  • Business's specific needs

    Business needs include the type of operations, the number of appliances using propane, and your geographical location - in warmer regions you need less propane for heating.
  • 1000-gallon commercial propane tanks

    1000-gallon tanks might be good for agricultural operations or large commercial appliances.
  • 2000-gallon commercial propane tanks

    2000-gallon tanks are more suitable for industrial facilities or construction sites. 
  • 5000-gallon commercial propane tanks

    Larger-scale operations, like fueling large fleets, may require tanks as big as 5000 gallons or more.

At Pinnacle Propane, we offer a wide range of tank sizes to accommodate diverse commercial needs. In addition to standard options, we can also provide tanks as large as 10,000 gallons or even bigger. And for businesses with smaller requirements, we offer tanks in sizes like 150, 500, and 1000 gallons. 

To ensure you select the perfect tank size for your business, please reach out to our dedicated customer service team. They can help you assess your specific needs and recommend the most suitable tank option.

"My business Lone Star Kitchen gets deliveries weekly. My driver Mark always delivers without fail and makes me feel like a priority. I could get propane cheaper elsewhere, but Mark is the reason I have kept my account all these years."
