This 500 gal propane tank size is perfect for central heating and hot water heaters. Typically, 500 gallon propane tanks are used for whole-home systems, home heating, generators, and pool heat. 500-gallon propane tanks are also used for commercial applications, such as heating, cooking, dry cleaning, and crop drying. The tank is about 3′ 11 1/2″ tall and 9′ 10″ in length.
With this above-ground propane tank for sale, you can save installation time and costs compared to underground models. The underground tank requires professionals to excavate your lawn. There’s also the risk of “floating,” meaning that the tank could shift under the ground if it’s not completely settled on a sturdy foundation. Above-ground tanks stand several inches off the ground and are safer for flooding conditions.
Propane stores well, is clean-burning, and is easy to refill. Simply lift the lid on the propane tank, and check the gauge inside. The best time to call your propane dealer for a refill is when it’s at 20-30 percent full. Propane is odorless, but an odorant is added to it so that it will give off a smell if it’s leaking. If you have questions about the operation of your appliance or gas systems, contact your local gas dealer.
Never allow your gas container to be filled above the maximum safe level.
A regulator is required for use to reduce the pressure of the tank to the working, usable pressure.

Here’s the deal:
An average US household consumes about 750 gallons of propane per winter. That means an average US household will need about 2 full fills of a 500-gallon propane tank per winter (a 500-gallon tank holds a maximum of 400 gallons of propane; the 80% safety rule).
We will have a closer look at the lifetime of a 500-gallon tank. This will enable us to more precisely figure out how long will 500 gallons of propane last in houses with square footage ranging from 500 sq ft to 4,000 sq ft
Home Size (Square Footage): | Propane Consumption (In Gallons): |
500 sq ft | 170 Gallons |
1,000 sq ft | 340 Gallons |
1,500 sq ft | 510 Gallons |
2,000 sq ft | 680 Gallons |
2,500 sq ft | 850 Gallons |
3,000 sq ft | 1,020 Gallons |
3,500 sq ft | 1,190 Gallons |
4,000 sq ft | 1,360 Gallons |
Now we know how many gallons of propane different size homes will, on average, burn throughout the winter. We can use this data to calculate how long will 500-gallon propane last:
How Long Does A 500-Gallon Propane Tank Last For Different Home Sizes
First of all, we need to figure out how many gallons of propane a 500-gallon propane tank actually hold. Instinctively we think it’s 500 gallons; it’s actually 400 gallons.
We only fill propane tanks up to 80% of their respective full volumetric capacity. That is done for safety reasons. If a propane tank is heated, the propane would expand and create pressure on the outer layers of the tank.
That means that a full 500-gallon tank holds 400 gallons of propane. Its totally energy content is 36,600,000 BTUs (100% efficiency).
Before we look at the table of how long will a 500-gallon tank last for different sizes of homes, let’s look at an example of how you can calculate that.
Example: How long does a 500-gallon propane tank last for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Based on average estimations, we know that a 1,500 sq ft will burn through 510 gallons of propane in 6 winter months. We also know that a full 500-gallon tank contains 400 gallons of propane. Here’s how we can calculate that:
- 510 gallons of propane will last for 6 months.
- 400 gallons (full 500-gallon tank) will last for how many months?
400 Gallons × 6 Months ÷ 510 Gallons = 4.706 Months
That means that a full 500-gallon propane tank will last for 4 months and 6 days in a 1,500 sq ft home.
We can use this principle to calculate after what time the 500-gallon tank will be empty for different home sizes:
500-Gallon Tank Longevity Chart
House Size (Square Footage): | How Long Will A 500-Gallon Propane Tank Last? |
500 sq ft | 14 Months and 4 Days |
1,000 sq ft | 7 Months and 2 Days |
1,500 sq ft | 4 Months and 6 Days |
2,000 sq ft | 3 Months and 25 Days |
2,500 sq ft | 2 Months and 25 Days |
3,000 sq ft | 2 Months and 11 Days |
3,500 sq ft | 2 Months and 1 Day |
4,000 sq ft | 1 Month and 23 Days |
Now, these are just estimations, based on statistical averages.
An important factor that can increase or decrease the specified time of how long will a 500-gallon propane tank last is the energy efficiency of your propane-powered appliances. That usually means a propane furnace.
High energy efficiency propane furnaces (with above 90 AFUE rating) will require less propane for the same heating output. These superb units can prolong the time how long a 500-gallon propane tank last by up to 25%?
