Dellfin Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Wondering if anyone can tell me the best way, or place, to find a used, functional, 250-500 gallon LP tank for the cabin near St. Cloud, MN. We converted the furnace from oil to propane and need to locate a tank before winter. I'm much more interested in buying vs. leasing. Doesn't need to be pretty, just in good shape. Any thoughts and/or advice...?Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhjr Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I've seen them on hsolist and hsolist from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 My propane dealer owns my tank and I don't pay a cent to use it. Long time customer, buy in bulk by combining my purchase with the neighbor, pre-buy in July, and pay cash. Never had to dicker on the price but I do check rates with other suppliers.

Outfitter17 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 If you buy one on hsolist, I don't know how they will ship it to you?My dealer in I. Falls, MN (lakes gas) doesn't charge anyone a lease fee? On the 250-1000 gallon tanks they let you use them as long as they get them filled at least once a year.Check with the local propane place in your cabins area, maybe you can get a deal like this.

It is in Isanti and you would be resposible to move it.It is short notice, but it is available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Guys we need to keep the Sales threads where they belong. Neighbor_guy, please post your tank in one of the Regional(Free)For Sale forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatfixer Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 A couple of other things to remember about a customer owned tank is that you are responsible for all the equipment and any product loss due to a leak is YOUR loss. Like the others have mentioned, many companies will "lease" a tank for nothing if you have it filled at least once a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighbor_guy Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I did not mean to step on any toes and am not actively trying to sell the tank. I was just responding to a post. The post was placed here I responded here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roofer Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'm sure the admins are not upset. They are just doing what they are supposed to. I should have known better, but I figured he wasn't advertising a sale.If things don't work out and you need it moved, let me know.
