Our propane tank is around 140 feet from the road access.

It’s a Amerigas rental, main use is home heating (when under 35F), and a great room gas fireplace.

Never had a delivery issue, but the lower end of our driveway really broke apart.

In 2017, I had entire driveway taken out and repoured. I spec’d 6” for the first (street end) half. I was trying to allow for propane and septic trucks.

That went well, but it did develop multiple hairline cracks starting about six months later. They seem to have stabilized, so maybe that’s kind of normal?

After that, I had a sign posted at end of driveway stating NO HEAVY TRUCKS ON DRIVEWAY.

Well last winter, our propane truck driver said they no longer carry hoses over 100 feet.

He did come back and refill after his truck had a lighter load using driveway. No issues.

Septic truck was just here last week for routine pump out. He was debating about using our yard, and said it WOULD result in ruts.

I OK’d him to use driveway, as I was more concerned with propane truck weight, vs septic.

Done with no issues.

The only option I see (other than having tank moved), is buying a gas fill extension hose. 50 feet I would think?

But I have no idea what to look for in quality, hose size, and fittings.

Are they pretty much standard?

Whenever I call Ameren, all I get is a paper pusher / phone call taker that can’t advise squat.

I’m hoping to talk with driver on next delivery, but he may or may not ring doorbell.

We are semi rural, three acre wooded lots. So tank moving would be a hassle.

Thoughts appreciated!
