At South Central Oil we are able to handle any above or below ground piping from the tank or gas main, including connections to almost any appliances.
Annual Tank Usage Fees
We understand that no one wants to pay tank rent. We would like to avoid charging it whenever possible. Our goal is to help customers select the appropriate tank size for their propane usage. If a customer purchases the full capacity of their tank in a 12 month period (May – April), they can avoid our tank usage fee. For customers who do not meet this minimum purchase amount, we usually send out tank usage fees of $70-150 in June of each year, fees vary depending on tank size. We publish a rate sheet at our front counter area in the office.
Above Ground Tanks For Sale or Lease
Here are the above ground propane tank sizes we offer for sale or lease:
120 gallon (vertical) –
250 gallon (horizontal)
320 gallon (horizontal)
500 gallon (horizontal)
1000 gallon (horizontal)
** tanks may be hooked together to provide additional storage when necessary
Customer Owned Tanks
One way to avoid the Tank Usage Fee is to own your propane tank. We also offer a discounted price per gallon for any customer who owns their tank. If you purchase a propane tank from us, we will be happy to provide a bill of sale and help with any maintenance on the tank going forward. If a customer wants a tank for a generator, for example, where the propane usage may be low, we highly encourage that customer to purchase the tank to avoid the annual tank usage fee.
Underground Propane Tanks For Sale
We also offer underground propane tanks for sale to customers. We try and stock various sizes of the underground tanks, however, it is best to plan six months ahead to ensure we will have the exact size ready for you. We can offer a turnkey quote to install an underground tank, complete with a dome and lid, anode bags, gas line, tracer wire and all accessories needed for safe and reliable propane supply.
