There are many differences such as land requirements, safety and cost between aboveground and Underground LPG Tanks. Consider the following before you make your decision. Land Requirements Underground types will need less land compared with aboveground units for the safety distance from tanks to walls will reduce by half according to design codes. So underground ones will be more popular if your local land price is quite expensive. Aboveground type Safety Generally, people thinks that underground LPG tanks are safer than aboveground tanks. One reason is that it`s easier for these tanks to stay temperate in extreme weather, especially in the freezing cold. The other is Underground LPG Tanks are safer in the event of a leak.
