Upright 500 gal. Propane Storage Tank

[huffdawg]

Has anyone set up their 500 gal propane Tanks for storage vertically.

I was looking at that myself awhile back and wondering if a guy was to use like a truck rim for the stand and a little welding . If it was set exactly straight up and down I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work .

I stood a 185 on end. I used some hi load foam, dished it out with a grinder and placed the tank in the dish. I bolted the tank legs, in four locations, into the side wall for tip-over protection.

The only tricky part was holding it upright until I got all the bolts into the wall. Working alone, of course It's amazing what you can accomplish when no one is watching!

Here is a pic of the semi rim on the bottom of a tank.

Especially OSHA.
