Propane Tanks & Lockers by Ragasco USA

I have the 2.5 gallon Seaward Propane Locker but am missing the properly sized tank. Is it possible to convert this unit to accommodate the composite Ragasco Propane tank you have recently introduced?

The Ragasco 5Kg Clear View Fiberglass Propane Tank which holds approximately 3 gallons should fit in the Seaward propane locker. The Ragasco Propane Tank dimensions are 15.24" Tall and it has a 12" Diameter.

I need 1000 gallon LPG Horizontal Tank (16’ x 41’’).

Answer

We do not stock Propane tanks that size. That commercial tank is available for residential and commercial use at any large propane supplier.

I presume the vent line vent should lead out no higher than the bottom of the tank and a fitting needs to fitted to the side of the boat hull to accomodate the vent tube. Do your offer an appropriate fitting, if not what is the i.d. of the hose where it would attach.

Answer

Here is what you need to know; propane as a gas, sinks.

The easy way to make this vent is to put a 1/2" Thru Hull in the bottom of the box and install another 1/2" Thru Hull below the height of the box, through the hull of the vessel. The thru hull on the side of the boat is an above waterline but below the propane locker exit. Lastly, connect the two thru hulls with reinforced hose and clamps.

Remember, vent in bottom of locker gets connected to a lower thru hull for draining the propane gas in the case of a leak.
