As a rule, your propane tank will hold 80% of its designated capacity, therefore, a 500 gallon tank would hold 400 gallons.
However, the 80% rule is based on expansion and contraction due to temperature. Propane expands in warmer weather.
In cold temperatures you can fill to over 90% capacity (450+ gallons) but you should plan on using a portion of that propane before the weather turns warm or pressure could build as temperatures rise, thereby opening the pressure relief valve and releasing gaseous gold into the atmosphere! The hazard could be worse than the expense.
Note: Some tanks are rated in pounds vs gallons. A 100 pound tank would hold just under 25 gallons.
One gallon of propane weighs 5 pounds. The tank would hold 60 gallons.
A 500-gallon propane tank typically holds around 400 gallons of usable propane. The remaining 20% of the tank's capacity is left as vapor space to allow for expansion and contraction of the propane with changes in temperature.
100 gallons? Are you kidding me. Who asked this question. You need not be dealing with propane. Believe it or not, there are 1000 US Gallons in a 1000 "Gallon" propane tank. Some peoples kids.
A 10-pound propane tank can hold approximately 2.4 gallons of propane.
A 56-gallon propane tank typically measures around 24 inches in diameter and 44 inches in height. It can hold up to 420 pounds of propane when filled to 80% capacity.
Mine holds 127 gallons of propane when filled up to the 80% make, the fullest they can get.
To find out how many gallons are left in the tank at 30%, you can multiply the tank's total capacity by 0.30 (which represents 30%). For a 250 gallon tank, this would be 250 * 0.30 = 75 gallons left at 30%.
The weight of a 375-gallon propane tank will vary depending on the level of propane it contains. Propane weighs about 4.2 pounds per gallon. Therefore, a full 375-gallon propane tank would weigh approximately 1,575 pounds.
30. You just said it's a 30 gallon tank.
7.1 gallons @ 4.2lbs per gallon.
100 pound propane tank will hold 23.58 gallon. 100 pounds / 4.24 pounds per gallon = 23.58 gallons
One gallon of propane weighs 5 pounds. The tank would hold 60 gallons.
A 500-gallon propane tank typically holds around 400 gallons of usable propane. The remaining 20% of the tank's capacity is left as vapor space to allow for expansion and contraction of the propane with changes in temperature.
8 gallons are in a 33 1/2 lb tank. Now is that the space in a 33 pound can or is that the amount of fuel in a 33 pound can? These cans can only be filled by law to 80% to allow for expansion If that is the case, 80% of 8 gallons is 6.4 Gallons. Now how many gallons are in a 33 pound can of propane?
