100# propane tanks

[dfv87]

Looking around for a 100# tank for the cabin next year to run water heater and stove. Where can a guy find them? How much do they run? Any ideas?

I have one.

fleetfarm, northern tool, I think i've seen them at menards. I'm guessing that you would pay $100 to $150 for a new one.

Go talk to your local propane supplier, a local farmers co-op might be your best bet. I got an old one with peeling paint for free. They had a whole shed full of them.

Fleetfarm in st. Cloud just put out some 100# tanks 76.00 for new tank...

One thing to remember on the 100 lb tanks is that they must be transported upright. It is supposed to be against the law for a supplier to fill them and let them leave in someones truck laying down. I'm sure not all places are too picky on this but something to think about. Because I have a topper on my truck I will go with 2 - 40 lb tanks that I can link together if I choose.

Good point five! Not only do they have to be transported upright but they also Have to be transported in an "open vehicle". The maximum amount of propane you can traansport in a closed vehicle (cars, suvs, vans, minivans) is 90lbs and the maximum cylinder size is 45lbs.

Two 40 pounders would be much easier to handle in my opinion. Our cabin has no road access so that's what we go with. They are not too bad to transport and fill by yourself.

If you are looking to have a gas company come out and fill the tank then I would think you could get the tank right from them or any of the other places mentioned above.

Amen to what Gus said. 40's are a lot easier to transport. Nice thing about using two 40's is that when one is out you can haul one out to be filled and still have the other 40 so you always have gas.

If you try to pull too much gas at low temps, sometimes smaller cylinders will freeze up and not supply enough vapor.

Don't know this will affect you, but something else to consider anyway.
