Required tank trim includes relief valves, excess flow valves and gauges for temperature, pressure and liquid level. Remote / automatic valve features are often required or desired to provide enhanced product control and safety (See also: 9, Safety Systems.)
At some locations, "special protection" for tanks (such as mounding, burial, insulating coatings and water-spray systems) may be required or desired to reduce the already small potential for fire-induced tank failures.

Storage Capacity
RULE OF THUMB...
11 gallons propane equals 1 MMbtu
|
To allow for expansion of the liquid propane, tanks are never filled to 100%. At 60° F, the maximum filling density is about 85%. The chart and graph below show common tank sizes and net fuel storage capacities in gallons and "millions of btus" (MMbtu).
