LPG Tank above to below ground

[GT03ROB]

Anyone had any experience of changing from above ground to underground for an LPG tank,

We have aboveground at present that's bit of an eyesore. Be good to put it underground.

Any idea on likely costs, issues, etc., etc

Would a shed do?

Helped put a b&q shed up a few year back to hide a mates unsightly heating oil tank. Which looked a lot better, and they went on to add a few potted plants and baskets around the shed.

For LPG that is not allowed.

I’ve checked back in my mails to 2017 where Calor quoted me 3,500 plus VAT for supply and underground installation. Suffice to say we didn’t go ahead…

The conversation may be interesting if they quote that sort of figure!

This.

Daughter is on a small development with communal gas tanks, builder put them in a couple of inches low which was fine until it rained, the water level rose and turned off the gas. They had to come back and redo the tanks so they now have a mound in the communal grassed area.

This should not be a problem as likely location would be at the high point of the property & around 1.5 - 2m higher than the adjacent road.
