-FOR SALE-

NEW FORKLIFT CYLINDERS

NEW 420# CYLINDERS 

NEW 500 & 1000 US GALLON TANKS 

STANDARD SALE POLICIES

  • Sales are restricted to areas on mid-Vancouver Island that we currently service. 
  • Larger cylinder & tank sales are typically new stock only.
    • Quotes are only good for 30 days as prices fluctuate often.  
  • We no longer rent (or sell) 200# cylinders due to their low storage capacity, and lack of consistent supply. 
  • If looking to purchase a brand new 100# cylinder (or smaller), these are available at most big box retailers (Costco, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Lowes, etc.). 
    • Although relatively inexpensive to purchase, note that 100# cylinder customers will incur higher fuel and delivery charges.
    • 100# cylinders also lack a factory installed gauge.
  • Sorry, we do not sell rental equipment which is already in service. 
  • As a condition of sale, all equipment being sold must be filled upon placement by Ready Propane. This ensures the equipment is functioning correctly before handing over possession to the customer (safety & warranty).
  • No customer pickups of any cylinder 420# or larger. Delivery only. See above. 

CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS, BILLING, AND CREDIT TERMS. 

  • New customers must provide a valid VISA OR MASTERCARD card when setting up their account, and prior to receiving goods or services.
  • Your initial delivery / set-up services will be charged automatically to this credit card.
  • Customers may request “Auto-charge” for subsequent deliveries. This simplifies the payment process. Ready Propane will simply charge the credit card on file and then send a receipt. 
  • E-transfers and cheques are also acceptable for follow-up services. 
  • Payment terms are Net 15. After an initial reminder, any overdue balances will be charged automatically to the credit card on file.
  • All invoices, receipts, and delivery notices are sent via email, 1-2 business days after receiving service.

GAS-FITTING, RV HOOKUPS, AND GAS APPLIANCE ISSUES

For everyone’s safety, any regulators or rigid piping attached to your home or business must be installed by a Licensed Gas-fitter. This work should be arranged BEFORE requesting your cylinder delivery.

RV hookups and gas appliance issues also require the services of a Licensed Gas-fitter, or a Certified RV (or Appliance) Technician. 

PLEASE NOTE: Ready Propane DOES NOT provide Gas-fitting services. There are many gas-fitting companies available locally to help with installation and servicing of regulators, piping, and appliances. Check on-line. We can also provide a local referral sheet if needed.

CYLINDER & TANK DROP FEES

  • For portable cylinder deliveries, we charge a fixed drop fee* from Yellowpoint to Buckley Bay, and west to Port Alberni.
  • 500, & 1000 USWG tanks require specialized delivery & lifting equipment. Fees are determined by site.

*Our drop fee includes delivering and placing your new cylinder in its final location, connecting the cylinder to the existing regulator (pig-tail) hose, and leak-testing the final connection. Propane fuel is extra. Locations not accessible by truck, hand-truck, or dolly will be charged as horizontal tank drops.  

OTHER MATERIAL FEES

  • 24″ x 24″ concrete pads for 420# cylinders (if not supplied by homeowner)
  • Appropriate concrete pads for horizontal tanks should be poured by the purchaser prior to our arrival. Pre-cast footings are also available at an additional cost.
  • Manifold kits (required if connecting 2 or more cylinders)

Please call or email to discuss your needs. We can also provide current sale pricing and availability.

Never worry about fuel again with our proven Remote Monitoring System. 

Purchase your tank or cylinder from Ready Propane and receive free remote monitoring with no annual charges. 

To qualify:

  • Customers must agree to be on our “Auto-fill” program.
