Looking for high-quality propane tanks for sale? Propane Tank Traders is one of the most trusted sources for new and certified used propane tanks in the United States. Based in Little Rock, Arkansas, we ship ASME and DOT certified tanks to all 50 states for a simple $350 flat-rate freight fee — with no surprise charges — from 120-gallon residential tanks all the way up to 30,000-gallon industrial storage bullets.
Whether you need a 120-gallon residential propane tank for a rural home, a 500-gallon commercial tank for a restaurant or farm, or a 30,000-gallon industrial LPG storage bullet, we stock the right tank for your application. Every tank is either ASME-certified for permanent stationary installations or DOT-certified for portable cylinders, sourced from Quality Steel Corporation and other leading domestic manufacturers and built to comply with NFPA 58 and applicable local codes. Browse our full propane tank inventory, where every product shows clear, upfront pricing.
Choosing between a new and used propane tank comes down to budget and application. New tanks arrive factory-sealed under vacuum with full manufacturer documentation — ideal for permanent residential, commercial, or industrial installations. Certified used propane tanks are inspected for structural integrity, recertified where required, and offered at significant savings, often 30–50% below new pricing, which makes them popular for agricultural storage, backup heating, and light commercial use. Learn more in our guide to new vs. used propane tanks.
Above-ground propane tanks are painted for surface installation and are easy to inspect, service, and relocate — the most common choice for homes and farms. Underground tanks are specially coated to resist soil corrosion, paired with a magnesium anode bag for cathodic protection, and buried per NFPA 58 requirements for homeowners who prefer the tank out of sight. Both are safe and ASME certified, so the decision comes down to budget and aesthetics. See our full above ground vs. underground comparison to decide.
We deliver to all 50 states. Small to mid-size tanks (120–2,000 gallon) ship via freight truck with liftgate delivery, while large industrial tanks (2,500+ gallon) arrive by flat-bed or step-deck trailer — all for the same flat $350 freight fee. Your first fill requires a licensed propane supplier to break the factory vacuum seal, and we are happy to recommend local providers. Once your order ships, you can follow it any time on our order tracking page.

Answers to the most common questions from homeowners, businesses, and industrial buyers.
Propane tank prices vary by size and condition. A 120-gallon propane tank starts around $400–$600 new. A 500-gallon propane tank typically costs $1,100–$1,800 new, or $600–$1,000 used. A 1,000-gallon propane tank runs $2,500–$4,500 new. Large industrial tanks (10,000+ gallons) are priced individually. All orders include flat-rate $350 nationwide shipping.
ASME tanks (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) are designed for stationary, permanent installations — residential and commercial propane storage. They are larger, typically 120 gallons and up, and must meet ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code standards. DOT tanks (U.S. Department of Transportation) are portable cylinders designed for transport, such as forklift tanks, barbecue cylinders, and portable heater bottles. DOT cylinders require periodic recertification (every 12 years).
A well-maintained ASME propane tank has a service life of 30–40 years or more. Tanks are subject to periodic inspection by your propane supplier. Underground tanks benefit from cathodic protection (magnesium anode bags) to prevent corrosion. DOT cylinders must be recertified every 12 years. Buying a certified used ASME tank with proper documentation is a sound investment when budget is a priority.
No. Above-ground (AG) propane tanks are painted and not coated for soil contact — burying an AG tank will cause rapid corrosion and is a safety hazard. Underground propane tanks (UG) have a special protective coating and are paired with a magnesium anode bag for cathodic protection. Always purchase a tank specifically rated and coated for underground use if you plan to bury it.
For a whole-home propane system (heating, hot water, cooking, and dryer), the general rule is: 500 gallons for homes up to 3,500 sq ft in moderate climates; 1,000 gallons for homes over 3,500 sq ft or in colder northern climates. If you also run a whole-home standby generator, add at least 250 gallons. Contact us for a free consultation based on your specific BTU load and annual usage.
Yes. We ship propane tanks to all 50 U.S. states with a flat-rate shipping fee of $350 per order, regardless of destination. Small tanks ship via freight truck; large tanks (2,500+ gallons) are transported by flatbed. Delivery times range from 3–7 business days for small tanks to 10–21 business days for large industrial units. Tracking is provided on all shipments.
Yes. All used propane tanks for sale in our inventory are inspected for structural integrity, valve condition, and corrosion before listing. We only sell used ASME tanks that meet current safety standards. Each listing includes the tank's condition rating and any relevant service history. Used tanks represent excellent value for agricultural, backup, or secondary applications, often saving 30–50% compared to new.
Per NFPA 58, above-ground propane tanks must be placed a minimum distance from buildings and ignition sources based on capacity: tanks under 125 gallons require at least 10 feet; 125–500 gallon tanks require 10 feet from buildings; 501–2,000 gallon tanks require 25 feet. Underground tanks have different setback requirements. Always verify with your local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) and your propane supplier before installation.
