Imagine this scenario—you’ve just received a propane delivery from Pitmon Oil & Gas, and as you check the gauge, you notice your tank isn’t completely full.
You might find this puzzling or even frustrating. But rest assured, there’s a simple explanation behind this occurrence.
Let’s explore the reasons why your propane tank won’t be 100% full after delivery. We’ll cover the benefits of propane, essential safety tips, and how Pitmon Oil & Gas ensures reliable service to keep your home running smoothly.
Before we address the issue of the partially filled tank, let’s consider why propane is a popular choice for homeowners in South and Central Oklahoma.
Known for its versatility and efficiency, propane powers everything from heating systems to kitchen appliances. It’s a cleaner-burning fuel that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, making it an environmentally friendly option.
Beyond its eco-friendly benefits, propane is cost-effective. Because it burns hotter and more efficiently than other fuels, households often find themselves saving on energy costs. For homeowners interested in sustainable living and budget savings, propane stands out as a robust solution.
Furthermore, propane is incredibly versatile. Whether you’re grilling outdoors or keeping your home warm during the cold months, propane delivers reliable performance. It’s a key player in emergency preparedness, ensuring you have power even when electricity lines are down.
The reason your tank isn’t filled to the brim is due to safety protocols. Generally, propane tanks are only filled to about 80% capacity. This isn’t an oversight; it’s a standard safety practice known as the 80% fill rule, which prevents overfilling.
Propane expands and contracts with temperature changes. By leaving some room in the tank, the tank can accommodate these volume changes safely. Especially in regions like Oklahoma, where temperatures can fluctuate significantly, this safety measure is crucial for preventing accidents.
