PROPANE TANK SIZE SELECTION
Below are a few quick points of reference for when you
need to select propane cylinders for your applications.
There are two major points to consider. What is the
temperature outside? & What are the BTU requirements
of the heater I will be using. While 20lb, 40lb and 100lb
tanks are the most common tank sizes, there are various
other options available. Contact you propane supplier for
details.
