This Type of Fuel Good for Residential Areas and Commercial Properties
This LP tank was installed at a customer’s home for their 20kw Generac generator, along with a cook top line and a backyard BBQ. Because this customer was looking to use the LP tank for a cook top line, backyard BBQ, and to fuel their generator in the event of a power outage, a 500 gallon tank was a great choice.
500 gallon LP tanks can be used for an all-propane home, or homes that require a lot of heat. If you are looking for a propane tank to be installed on your commercial property, these 500 gallon tanks are good for that too. Many restaurants that use propane to cook get a lot of use out of these tanks. Companies that require high amounts of heat to process certain substances – like tar – can also use this type of fuel.
