Getting ready to close on my new property in ottertail county and the previous owners are taking their lp tank with them. Wondering if you guys know of any places that sell new or rebuilt 500 gallon tanks at a decent price? I won't be getting it until spring when i come up.

Some don't want to sell because tanks are getting hard to come by. Some don't want to sell because they don't want to make it easier for their customers to leave them. Do you know what size tank you need? |

I have a 500 gallon tank at my cabin and a 1000 gallon tank at my house. If you aren't sure what size to get, bigger is better. I started with a 250 gallon tank at the cabin, but I was worried about running out in the winter when I keep the furnace on low all winter. Going to the 500 gallon tank solved that issue.

How much stuff are you going to be running off that tank? The only reason I bring this up is because I hate propane contracting or winter buying, and I've seen first hand how fragile the propane delivery system is in winter. |

Mostly a boiler for in floor heating in conjunction with a wood fireplace. |

I feel like I'd figure out how much I needed, then get a tank twice as big as that. |

Uh 500 gallon We have a 1000 gallon tank for our home and can almost get through a winter with it. I recommend looking for the thousand. You will get old and so will the wood cutting. |

I don't go through 500 gallons in a year. I do have dual fuel... electric in floor heat and AC/heat pump and an LP forced air furnace(also LP clothes dryer and stove). Heat pump gets used until it's colder than 20, then switch over to the LP furnace.

What kinda heat you using Art? Forced air. I fill the tank about Aug 1-15. Rahn has been the cheapest lately. Stu is saving more money, but much higher investment. And my house is almost 30 years older. |

Cost $5 a year to lease a tank. Why buy... I was leasing to start. Then they wanted to invoice me $100/year for a 250 if I didn’t use a complete tank per year. Then they wanted to charge me $3.30/gallon when everyone else was $1.30/gallon. I gave them an ear full and they sold me my tank for $500. Still a rip off, but at least it ended. |

If one company tries to push you around, then go to the next. They all want business. |
