Well,I suppose 500 gallons is big enough.

Re: 500 gal build
I'm going to give you some rough numbers here...First of all 100,000 btu's will burn one gallon in one hour. So if you know the btu's of the appliances you just need to figure out how many hours on average they run in a week and you can estimate the consumption from there.
But let's say you have an average 40,000btu water heater running 20% of the time. That's a high estimate but we'll use that number. You've got two young kids so I'm going to give you 6 loads of laundry in a 35,000 btu dryer, and 8 hours of usage on a 30,000btu cooking range. That's going to be about 80 gallons a month. a 500 gallon propane tank holds about 400 galllons of propane when it is filled to the maximum legal 80%, so you will go about 5 months on a tank. Again though, I'm over-estimating these numbers so you will probably use a little less than that... Hope this helps! Source(s): 20 years experience in the propane business and a licenced gas fitter. |
