Question

Buried 250 Gallon Propane Tank


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

Re: Buried 250 Gallon Propane Tank


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.
