Tired of lugging around those heavy, steel tanks? Give one of our Lightweight Viking Cylinder® Tanks a try!
Viking Cylinders® Lightweight Composite Propane Tanks are designed to replace those heavy propane cylinders. They are 50% lighter than steel tanks and come with a comfortable, ergonomic handle that allows for easy stacking and carrying. The outer walls are translucent, allowing you to see exactly how much propane is left in the tank. Each cylinder has a wide, stable base that prevents it from tipping over.
Unlike steel and aluminum tanks, Viking Cylinders® will not BELVE in a fire. BELVE is the technical abbreviation for Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion. In layman’s terms, the cylinder will not explode in a fire. Instead, the resin will burn off, the plastic liner/casing will melt, and the LPG will “breathe” through the cylinder wall, while burning in a controlled manner.
