The 500# tank came with the house but the propane company kept leaving me notes (for years) to clean out the soil around it so I finally dug it out.
How bad does it look to you?
But why would electricity be near a propane tank?
Also, how much underneath these long pipes should I excavate?
The shovel nicked the yellow pipe - is that a plastic covering on metal? Why is there electrical tape along the length of some of the pipes?
Also, I might paint it - does it matter if it's oil based or not? (the company said I had to use a light color but the wife wants green)
If I use it to refill a small propane tank for the grill, where do I hook the 20 gallon propane tank hose to the 500 gallon propane tank valves?
The tank is on two concrete supports. How deep under should I dig?
