On the collar of the cylinder you will see markings stamped on there. The answer to this question lies in the water capacity of the cylinder. This will be marked as something like WC 239. This is the total mass or volume of liquid, stated in pounds, the cylinder could hold if completely filled with water. All propane cylinders are allowed to be filled with propane to a maximum of 42% of the stamped water capacity. so for our example cylinder we take 239 x .42 = 100.38 lbs of propane. This cylinder can safely hold slightly more than 100 lbs. Some cylinders can't quite hold 100lbs of propane. It depends on the actual volume of space left inside the cylinder when it is manufactured. Propane weighs 4.2 Lbs per gallon at 60°F, so 100.38 ÷ 4.2 = 23.9 gallons. see less Propane Guy answered 6 years ago Every cylinder is different.

Yes | Report Cylinder weighs about 170 pounds when full and Holds 100 pounds of propane (23.6 gallons of propane). lancelot · June 26, 2014 9 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report Propane weighs 4.24 lbs per gallon so 100 lb capacity tank would hold 23.6 gallons. corps0331 · June 25, 2014 33 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report Propane gas expands with a rise in temperature and a 100 Pound cylinder can only be safely filled with 23.6 gallons of liquid propane. This will then enable the gas to expand when the ambient temperature rises. The first time I went to a propane station ( I will not mention the Name) I could not believe when the attendant pumped 35 Gallons in the Tank and then asked me if I wanted more. Beware when you fill the cylinder and play it safe Juergen Schmieder · June 26, 2014 7 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report 23.6 gallons = 100 pounds propane Jillian · June 30, 2015 4 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report Propane weighs 4.24 lbs per gallon. So a 100 lb propane tank holds 23.6 gallons. Jabron Lames… · March 21, 2018 23 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report It should be about 23 gallons, if the weight of propane is 4.34 lbs per gallon. Stewart Simons · July 9, 2021 3 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report They only fill containers to 80% capacity to allow for expansion of the gas. So 100 lbs container is only going to get 80 lbs of propane. Propane weighs 4.2 lbs per gallon. 80lbs divided by 4.2 pounds equals 19 gallons. Greg W · January 26, 2023 3 people found this helpful.
