Tired of lugging around heavy steel propane tanks all season?

Give one of our lightweight Viking Cylinder® tanks a try!

Finally, an alternative to lugging around those heavy propane cylinders!

Viking Cylinders® composite tanks are available in 11 lb, 17 lb, and 22 lb sizes and are 50% lighter than traditional steel cylinders. Ergonomic handles make them easy to carry and stack, while the rugged, noncorrosive 3-layer composite construction provides long-lasting durability.

The translucent cylinder design lets you easily see your fuel level, so you’ll know when it’s time to refill—and you won’t run out on the job. Each cylinder also features a wide, stable base to help prevent tipping.

Designed with Safety in Mind

Unlike traditional steel and aluminum cylinders, Viking Cylinders® are designed not to BLEVE in a fire. BLEVE stands for Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion.

In simple terms, rather than exploding when exposed to fire, the cylinder is designed to allow the resin to burn off and the plastic liner/casing to melt, allowing the LPG to escape through the cylinder wall and burn in a controlled manner.

Each tank comes with a Filling Certificate, which can be found on the product page of our website.

Color of tank may vary.
