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.

The capacity of a propane tank with a gross water capacity of 285 gallons is typically around 200 gallons. This allows for expansion room when the propane is being stored or transported. It is important not to fill the tank to its maximum water capacity to prevent overfilling and potential safety hazards.
