Propane tanks are the storage containers for propane in its liquid form. Tanks are available in many different sizes being engineered and designed for propane containment at high pressures.

Propane tanks are designed for both stationary and mobile use. The propane tank itself is what allows propane and its usable energy to be portable.

Propane tanks are airtight containers that carry propane gas and deliver them to heat-generating devices such as stoves and heaters. They are usually made from thick metal cylinders with valves fitted on top, which allow a controlled transfer of propane gas from the tank to the device.

Most propane tanks are reusable, although some are also designed for single use. Propane tanks usually come in four to 40-pound capacities, depending on the use.
