I needed a propane tank to supply a 50-80k propane heater. This heater is used for about 20 minutes per day to get my apartment heat jump-started, because the baseboard, electric heating in my 900 square foot apartment is inadequate (old house, drafty, no insulation). I did not want to be running to the propane fill station every week, like I may have had to do with a 15 or 20 pound tank. This tank is working flawlessly. Also, even when entirely filled, it can easily be ported by a single person without the need for a cart or hand truck. It has some heft, but it is manageable by the average person. As pictured, it did come with the annoying Flame King sticker. I removed that with water and lighter fluid for the glue residue. That took about 15 minutes. In Ohio the date stamp is good for 10 years, and the one I got was tested 6 months ago. That is perfectly acceptable. It was also vacuum evacuated before shipping to me, which is something else that was required at my filling station. All in all, this was a fine investment. I may get a second, just to minimize my trips to the propane filler. Plus, I am camper, and this will be handy to easily run all the propane equipment for a full weekend. Remember, this is 50% greater capacity than the typical tank. It is the same circumference, interface, and footprint – just taller.
