Why Is My “Full” Propane Tank Not At 100%?

Taylor is unmatched for reliable propane delivery

80/20 rule California, md If you’ve ever checked your propane tank after a delivery from Taylor, you might have been surprised to find that it wasn’t filled to 100% capacity. This might have left you in doubt, wondering if we had shortchanged you.

This wasn’t a mistake. It was intentional, but for a good reason. That’s because not filling your propane tank all the way is to ensure absolute safety when it comes to propane.

Similar to water, propane undergoes expansion when heated. However, unlike water, propane expands approximately 17 times more for each increase in temperature. By not completely filling the propane tank, it allows space for expansion during hot weather, thereby ensuring the tank’s safety.

Aboveground propane tanks are usually filled to approximately 80% capacity, while in-ground tanks can be filled slightly higher. The rationale behind this is that underground tanks enjoy insulation from the surrounding ground, providing a protective barrier against drastic temperature changes. This insulation helps ensure stable and safe propane storage.
