Q: Can you give me some winter tips for my propane tank?
A: While you don’t need to worry about propane ever freezing inside your tank, cold weather does cause propane to contract, resulting in a loss of tank pressure. If your tank pressure gets too low, propane may have trouble reaching the burners of your gas appliances.
The most important thing you can do to ensure proper tank pressure is to keep your propane tank filled to at least 30%. The easiest way to do this is to request our free automatic propane delivery plan. We’ll track your fuel usage and deliver propane before your fuel level and tank pressure get too low.
Here’s another tip: always clear off any snow or ice build-up on your propane tank. This allows sunlight to keep your tank warmer, lowering the chance of any tank pressure problems.
