The Flame King 10LB Propane Tank is designed for convenience and safety, arriving pre-purged and vacuum-ready for immediate propane filling. Constructed from high-grade welded steel, this tank features a durable powder-coated exterior to resist rust and corrosion. For added safety, the tank is equipped with an OPD (Overfill Protection Device) valve that averts overfilling during use. Whether you're using it for grilling, barbecuing, or other outdoor cooking needs, this propane tank provides reliable performance. It is DOT-approved and has undergone rigorous X-ray and hydrostatic testing, ensuring it meets the required safety standards. Although commonly referred to as a "10 lb propane tank" or "11 lb propane tank," its accurate capacity is 10.51 lbs. However, we use "10 lb" for simplicity, acknowledging the industry's varied terminology. Please note that this propane tank is empty and ready to be filled with gas.
