The appropriate size propane tank for any individual home, business or farm will depend on a variety of factors including the climate at the location, the square footage of any buildings, and what applications propane will be used for (e.g., home heating, water heating, cooking and other appliance usage, or back-up power generation).
Woodford can provide and service a wide range of propane tank sizes. We will work with you to analyze your usage characteristics and calculate the best size propane tank to meet your needs.

Propane tanks are manufactured by several different companies and they vary somewhat in their dimensions. The dimensions listed below are approximate, and reflect capacity sizes most commonly found in the U.S.
Regardless of size, propane tanks are designed to hold 80% of their listed capacity when full, rather than 100%. This is called the “80% fill rule,” and is used as a safety measure because propane will expand when its temperature rises.
Above-ground tanks and underground tanks essentially function in the same way, but there are different siting requirements for each type. Additionally, underground tanks have special design features that allow them to safely store propane underground. Propane tanks designed for above ground service cannot be installed underground.
