Buried 250 gallon propane tank - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

**genecarp** · 04-24-2009, 05:17 PM

Looking to bury a LP tank for my own home, use for cooking, maybe a dryer, maybe a small lp fireplace. The LP guys around here seem to have a bit of a monopoly, bad attitudes, and limited info. I would like to, with the assistance of my licensed plumber install my own tank, Who can i purchase a tank from for burial ? not turning up to much with google search. Any reason to let the LP company do the install, and supply the tank? Thanks G

Hey Gene, acouple of propane suppliers near me, (Im right near you in new england) got hammered because they decided to all charge more for the propane (about 50% more)and in some cases they refused to deliver to people that owned and were not renting their equipment.I dont know about saving 1.50 a gallon outright?? You are right about their attitudes, they are terrible.I am switching to gasoline forklifts at the earliest possible moment.
