If you’re a keen observer, you might have noticed that your propane tank is never filled to the brim. But why is this so? The reason behind it all lies in prioritizing propane safety.
Just like water, propane expands when heated. However, propane expands about 17 times more than water for the same temperature increase. To ensure safety, it’s important not to fill the propane tank to its maximum capacity. Leaving some empty space inside the tank allows the propane to expand safely in hot weather while keeping the tank secure.
Aboveground propane tanks are typically filled up to around 80% capacity, whereas in-ground tanks can be filled slightly higher. The reason behind this lies in the insulation provided by the surrounding ground for underground tanks, shielding them from abrupt temperature fluctuations. This precautionary measure ensures the durability and stability of the tanks, safeguarding them against potential damage.
