Dual 5-gallon Composite Fiberglass Propane Tanks
Composite cylinders are a safer, lighter alternative to steel and aluminum propane tanks. Constructed using a mixture of fibers and plastic resin instead of metal, Viking composite propane tanks are designed with a three-layer construction:
A completely seamless, blow-molded liner
A fiberglass-wrapped plastic casing
A durable outer case
All cylinders are manufactured in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) special permits, and composite propane gas cylinders include the same approved valves, pressure-relief devices, and overfill-prevention devices as traditional steel and aluminum propane tanks. While there are several advantages to choosing a Viking Cylinders product over steel propane gas tanks, a key benefit is safety. Traditional steel tanks can explode when put under stress (such as a puncture or a fire), but a Viking Cylinders tank will not explode in a fire. Tests have proven that our propane gas cylinders will react with a controlled burnout when in a fire, and bullets puncturing the cylinder do not cause fires or explosions. Our favorite feature? They don’t rust like traditional painted steel tanks!
