Propane has a broad range of residential, commercial and industrial uses. Read about them at the Canadian Propane Association’s website.  

Propane is stored in residential propane tanks as liquid propane gas, sometimes called LP gas. As with any liquid, the volume of LP gas changes with temperature. This affects your propane tank in by providing different pressure readings depending upon the temperature of the tank. Budget Propane will never fill a tank beyond 80 percent capacity, because this allows enough room for expansion as temperatures change.
 
At Budget Propane, our tank gauges are calibrated to an industry standard, and should be inspected and checked every time your propane delivery service visits your home. An accurate gauge helps you know when you need a refill, and helps keep your propane tank extra safe. 

In extremely cold temperatures, tank gauges will indicate that there is less propane within a propane tank due to decreasing pressure. The opposite is true when the temperature significantly rises, increasing the pressure of propane in the tank. 
 
As an experienced and well-equipped propane supplier, Budget Propane Ontario uses equipment that automatically accounts for volume variances caused by temperature when refilling propane tanks. This allows a precise amount of propane to be delivered every time.
 
It is important to remember that your residential propane tank may read less than what you expect on very cold days, even after a propane refill. For example, if you just had 100 gallons of propane delivered, your tank may still show less than that volume according to the gauge. This is because of low temperatures—your tank still contains the amount of propane delivered by your supplier, and you will be able to use it for your appliances and heating.
 
By the same token, during the warmer summer months we will never overfill your tank in order to ensure that it maintains a safe pressure level. This gives the propane inside the tank plenty of room to expand when the temperature rises.
 
If you have any questions about your propane tank, gauge readings, or propane delivery, contact us at Budget Propane Ontario  1 888 405.7777 . We can help you understand more about how temperature changes affect the volume of propane inside your tank and your gauge readings.
