Propane Transport Tanks

Tanks are measured based on their height/length and diameter (measuring from one side, to the other, across the center point of the tank).The most commonly used propane tank, the 20 lb tank is the standard size tank for barbecue grills, mosquito magnet, turkey fryer, small space heaters. However, the 20 lb tank can be used on several other propane applications. A 20 lb propane tank holds 4.5 gallons of propane and weighs 37 pounds full.
