HERE'S THE LOWDOWN

There are a lot of words floating around these days when it comes to describing grill tanks. You may have heard terms like, “20 lb propane tanks,” “propane bottles,” “propane cylinders,” and some people even call them “propane tank cylinders!” No matter how you refer to them, propane grill tanks are a convenient, safe, and powerful way to fuel your needs.

BUT WHAT SIZE PROPANE TANK
DO YOU NEED FOR A GRILL?

For the most common uses, a grill propane cylinder is your best option. Propane cylinders used for gas grills have been commonly dubbed the “20 lb propane tank”. A gas grill tank is filled with 15 lb of propane (or 3.5 gallons). The dimensions for the Cynch grill propane tank are 1’6” in height and 1’ in diameter — and these fit most standard grills.

When it comes to fueling your grill, Cynch has you covered. We specialize in delivering standard grill-size propane tanks directly to your door.

What is Liquid Propane?

We’ve covered all there is to know about grill tanks, but what’s inside of them? Propane, otherwise known as liquefied petroleum gas (LP-gas or LPG to keep it short), is the result of both natural gas processing and crude oil refining. Through these two processes, the oil/ natural gas is purified and refined to produce a non-toxic, colorless, and odorless gas. That gas is then compressed and stored as the liquid we know as propane!

The best part about propane is that it’s a clean-burning fossil fuel, as listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992. When you’re fueling with Cynch, you can feel confident knowing you are contributing to the minimization of greenhouse gas emissions.
