500 Gallon propane tank
« on: June 05, 2014, 12:48:36 PM »
I am trying to sell one.  It is empty,  Does anyone know approx value of one of these things.  The local propane company is offering me $575.  Seems fair but I just wanted to make sure.

If anyone wants to buy it from me cut it in half and make a home made boiler, I will give you a discount. ;)

That seems like a decent price.

Agreed, $575 is a very good price for you if it is a typical used tank.  If it is pretty new (less than 10 years old) you might get a little more for it. 

I watch them on the local Craigslists around here and rarely see them priced at more than $1/gallon.

I have bought stainless milk tanks for thermal storage, all insulated with a nice man door for one dollar per gallon, take the money!
