IF a tank were filled to 100% of capacity, then increases in temperature would result in pressure increases on the tank of hundreds, or possibly thousands, of PSI, and possibly cause a very severe mechanical failure resulting in a massive fire and/or chemical explosion.
This is because liquids have very little compressability, while gasses like air, or LPG in gasseous form, are very highly compressable.
Safety codes require that some empty space remain above the liquid after "filling" of a tank. Then moderate pressure increases due to moderate temperature increases are safely absorbed, or buffered, allowing only moderate pressure increases to the tank.
As pointed out in answer 1, it is theoretically possible of phically and totally fill a tank, but if proper safety valving and filling techniques are used, then there will always be a "headspace" for safety in the tank at all times.
23.6 gallons. That's the volume of 100 lbs of propane, however, they only fill to about 80% (to allow room for expansion with temperature; otherwise you'd blow out liquid propane!).
20 percent of 100 pounds is 20 pounds. Therefore, if there is 20 percent left in a 100-pound propane tank, there are 20 pounds of propane remaining in the tank.
A 100 pound propane tank has a capacity of 2,160,509 BTUs

Around $75 it's usually $15 for the 20lb tanks.

100 pound propane tank will hold 23.58 gallon. 100 pounds / 4.24 pounds per gallon = 23.58 gallons

"A standard 100 lb propane bottle contains 90 litres of propane. " http://www.uniongas.com/business/otherci/techsol/heating/constructionheat/conHeatCostComp.asp
260 pounds for the tank plus about 400 pounds of propane. 660 pounds total.
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.
The blast radius of a 250-gallon propane tank can vary depending on several factors such as the tank's condition, location, and surrounding environment. However, a general estimate would be around 250-500 feet. It is crucial to follow safety protocols and regulations when handling or storing propane tanks to prevent accidents.
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.
