Assume liquid propane has a specific gravity of .51. For a liquid with that property DOT regulations say that for tanks under 1200 gallons, the maximum permitted filling density of the tank is 42% of the water weight capacity. Assume water weighs 8.33 lbs/gal. 285 x 8.33 = 2374 lbs capacity. 2374 x .42 = 997 lbs.
