Propane Tanks – Sale, Lease and Installation in San Antonio
Mission Gas Company keeps bulk residential and commercial propane tanks on hand for sale or lease. We also loan tanks under certain circumstances. Propane tanks carried in our inventory include 250 gallon, 500 gallon, and 1000 gallon. Underground and above ground propane tanks are available in all sizes. We have been installing propane tanks and propane gas systems in and around San Antonio for over 70 years. If you need a propane tank for your home or business and you need the best LP Gas products, the best service, and highest quality workmanship, then you need to call Mission Gas Company. We install both above ground and underground propane tanks.
Propane Tank Installation
Two of the most common ways that the process starts is by contacting us directly or a homebuilder will contact us. We have many homebuilders that we work closely with, and they will just let us know when the tank is to be installed, what the installation entails, and we take it from there. If you contact us directly, we will set up a time to meet with you at the location where the tank will be installed and go over the details of the installation. We will suggest the most efficient way to install the propane tank, the yard line, and recommend the appropriate tank size. We will give you a price estimate shortly after we have gathered the necessary information. We can generally install the tank within a week.
Our experienced service department will handle all aspects of the tank installation including:
- Deliver and set propane tank
- Install gas service line from tank to the building
- Install regulator (second stage if needed)
- Test entire propane gas system
- Hook up appliances (if needed)
- Light pilot lights
- Make adjustments as necessary
- The tank will be filled with gas as soon as the installation is complete!

Underground Propane Tank Installation
All underground propane tanks are installed with cathodic protection (magnesium anode & dielectric union) to prolong the life of the tank. There are several factors that go into the placement of an underground propane tank and we’ll handle the process from start to finish.
Propane Tank Size
There are many factors that go into choosing the size of tank most suited to your needs. Propane users have a constant load on their system, meaning there is propane being used throughout the year, regardless of outside temperature. For example, you may cook with propane in your home. You also may use propane to heat your water. These two examples are temperature independent, and don’t necessarily contribute much to the overall amount of propane used during the year, especially if we experience a cold winter. Listed below are some considerations which go into determining propane tank size.
Residential Propane Tanks – Sizing Factors
- Square footage of house
- Number of heaters, water heaters, etc. using propane
- Size of heaters, appliances, etc. (BTU Rating)
- Presence of pool heater or hot tub on propane
- Quality of insulation
- Interest in supply protection
Commercial and Industrial Propane Tanks – Sizing Factors
- Usage purpose
- Heating for large warehouse or area
- Forklift or fleet refueling
- Commercial kitchen
- Propane Resale
- Temporary propane tank placement
- Year-round propane usage
Propane tank size selection is straight forward in both residential and commercial applications. Residential tanks can be sized by simply reviewing a set of plans and in most cases, we can actually determine the size of propane tank that you need right over the phone! The same is true for commercial propane tanks. Because many commercial applications are very specific, the process of choosing the right size propane tank is very straightforward and simple as well.
