No Coast Gas Utility Partners is not involved in the sale of propane gas, tanks, or associated equipment. However, we collaborate with retail propane companies and offer underground (UG) testing services on their behalf. We also perform these services for individuals who own their tank and subsequently provide documentation to both the homeowner and the existing propane supplier. 

As an underground propane tank owner, you are responsible for the upkeep, maintenance, and protection of the tank. This includes complying with local, state, and national regulations, ensuring proper installation, and arranging for regular maintenance by qualified technicians.

To protect your tank, it should be located at least 10 feet away from buildings or neighboring properties and shielded from vehicular traffic. Crash-resistant barriers may be necessary if the tank is near roads. Additionally, inform workers of the tank’s location during any construction or landscaping activities.

Regulations require cathodic protection systems for tanks installed after January 1, 2011, to prevent corrosion. Regular testing and documentation are necessary to ensure the system’s effectiveness. Testing must occur within six months of installation and every three years thereafter.

Check the terms of your tank’s warranty, as some may apply only to the original purchaser. It’s also essential to inform your homeowner’s insurance provider about tank ownership to ensure coverage in case of any issues.

Many propane marketers, including Coast Gas Utility Partners offer these preventive maintenance and repair services. Please contact us for more information on these programs and how they can benefit you as a tank owner.
