Propane Equipment
You Don't Use Much Propane...Until You Really Need It.
Not sure which tank is right for you? We will help you find the perfect fit for your home, business, or generator.
One Size Does Not Fit All
Propane tanks come in a range of standardized sizes, and choosing the right one depends on how much fuel you use, what you are powering, and how often you want a delivery. Kimlin Energy stocks and installs all standard tank sizes across the Hudson Valley.
Whether you are running a forklift, cooking on a backyard grill, heating your whole home, or keeping a standby generator fueled and ready, there is a tank built for the job. Here is what you need to know.

Why Usable Capacity Is Less Than Tank Size
Propane tanks are never filled to 100%. By code and for safety, tanks are filled to approximately 80% of their total capacity. This allows for the natural expansion of propane as temperatures change. The usable capacity figures above reflect that 80% fill level.
Tank Leasing: The Smart Choice
Kimlin Energy leases propane tanks for just $10 per year. That is not a typo. For ten dollars annually, you get a professionally installed, maintained, and insured tank with no capital outlay and no surprise repair bills.
Purchasing and installing a propane tank outright can cost thousands of dollars depending on size, site work, and permitting. When you run the numbers, leasing through Kimlin is the overwhelmingly better deal for the vast majority of customers.
