Propane is a hydrocarbon gas normally produced as a by-product of crude oil refining and natural gas treatment. If it is not to be used as a fuel for burning right at the site of its production; it will be sent to a liquefaction plant to be put into containers under pressure. From there, it will be sent to distributors for final delivery to end user customers.
Many Different Tank Sizes And Shapes
Although propane is being increasingly used as a fuel for motor vehicles, few of us will be in the market for a new tank for our vehicle. Many of us may have been on camping trips and come across those neat little canisters filled with propane which we can use to fuel a small stove or we may have a heavier duty propane tank for our barbeque or even a domestic stove. These are basically tanks that we buy full, use the gas and then return the tank for a refill.
Larger tanks will be required for bulk users of propane such as factories, farms and commercial premises. Such tanks will be installed at the user’s premises and refilled from a supplier’s larger tank built onto a special trailer type truck. Bulk supply is not restricted to industrial type usage and domestic requirements such as propane based air conditioning systems and central heating can require sufficient quantity of propane to justify installing a storage tank within the home compound.
Bulk Stored Propane Can Have Many Uses

In older residences that have oil fired systems in place, changing over to propane can result in more economic running costs and the new propane tank (needed to replace the heating oil tank) enables you to utilize a more versatile fuel that, currently, can be purchased at lower cost and can even be more energy efficient to use.
