Best place to buy new 250 lbs Propane Tank????

[dbrock63]

I am putting a 250lbs propane tank at my home and need to buy a tank. Where can I get the best price on a new tank? So far $1,300 (comes with the 2 regulators needed) is the best I have found from a Propane company in Dayton TX. I would rather find some place closer to my home in Alvin TX or Houston. I have a trailer and can go pick it up.

Who would you go to for this item?

Thanks Green Screen!

Try Gulf Coast LP has or Bay Gas

Ask the propane companies if they have any used tanks for sale. I bought mine for a couple hundred then pressure washed and painted it myself.

Try HOPPS in Santa Fe.

$1300 is not a bad deal, I have some refurbished tanks (new coating and all new valves) for $800 but I'm a long way away.

Ask the propane company if they rent them. Star Propane rented me mine for like $5 per month. He even told me he knows it doesn't add up so of course everyone would rent.

Thanks for the info!

As said above buy used or rent. I have a used tank that’s old as dirt but was revalved Ect and has been sitting by my camper for 3 years.

The propane distributors have been giving me free Brand new tanks for years, everything from 100 lbs tanks to 250gallon-1000 gallon tanks
And even deliver and plumb the tanks to a permanent structure for free
Is this not the norm??

I got a 250 gallon tank for “free” by signing up for propane delivery. I was going to need the delivery anyways so I was happy to do it.

Who did you use for this?

I have one that is about 70% full that I "think" I don't need. We are building and I think the gas company is now on our road so I will be hooking up to them and will be selling this tank.

Barta Brothers in Damon quoted me $1,000 for just the tank and Coastal in Rosenberg was $1,350

This is the 'best place' ... except I bought mine from an individual that worked for a propane company. He checked everything on it and even delivered it for about $200. Had it for several years now and I'm not 'tied' to a certain propane company for any service.
