Tanks can last upwards of 25 years, however Budget Propane is required to complete regular maintenance of the tanks such as paint, relief valve inspections, and relief valve replacements.

It is Budget’s policy to allow our customers to paint the tank providing that the paint used is a rust proof paint, that the paint is glossy (to reflect heat) and to ensure no dark colour such as Black, Navy Blue or Dark Brown are used as they would attract heat.

We do kindly ask if our customers can maintain a path to the propane tank in the winter time and keep the tank clear of any debris, wood piles or snow throughout the year.
