TheMobileGrid offers Propane Tanks
When natural gas is not available the best options for a residential whole home generator is Liquid Propane (LPV). LPV tanks vary in size and we will help you pick the right size for the project. We try to determine the maximum number or days your generator can run until your tank needs to be refilled. It’s a good idea to get 4-5 days of run time to match the tank and generator. When filled, the volume of propane is approximately 80% of the total tank capacity to allow for expansion.

Underground
We offer underground tanks from 300 to 1000 gallons for an excellent, low profile storage solution. These tanks are environmentally friendly, constructed of heavy steel and are specially painted with a mastic coating to prevent corrosion. They increase curb appeal because only the tank dome stays above ground; it houses the regulator, gauges and filling port. A small amount of excavation is required.
Propane Tank Ownership
Depending upon where you live, LPV tanks can be owned or rented. It’s really a personal opinion on which is better. If you are comfortable with maintaining a tank then ownership is a good option. If you’d rather have someone else maintain the tank, rental is the way to go. Rental is obviously is less expensive of an investment.
