They are rated in gallons because propane is stored in liquid form in propane tanks.
The Letters "WC" on a propane tank stand for "Water Capacity", and are followed by a number which would identify the tanks Water Capacity typically measured in lbs. Water weighs approximately 8.3lbs per gallon Propane weighs approximately 4.24lbs per gallon
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.
A 100 pound propane cylinder can hold approximately 23.6 gallons of water.
Assuming the propane cylinder you mentioned is a standard 20 lb propane tank, it would hold around 4.7 gallons of water. This varies depending on the specific dimensions of the tank.
The supply pressure of propane gas in a house typically ranges from 10 to 14 inches of water column (in wc) when measured at the gas regulator. This pressure is regulated down from higher pressure storage tanks or cylinders to a level that is safe for household appliances to operate efficiently.

100 gallons? Are you kidding me. Who asked this question. You need not be dealing with propane. Believe it or not, there are 1000 US Gallons in a 1000 "Gallon" propane tank. Some peoples kids.

That is not a very clear question. Are you asking if the materials left in a propane tank could be toxic if you use the tank for water? If so, then the answer is yes, but you are not going to be having a lot of ethyl mercaptan. An old propane tank can contain a significant amount of hydrocarbons, usually in the gasoline and diesel boiling point range.
A propane tank works by storing propane fuel in a pressurized liquid form and then converting it into vapor when needed. Inside the tank, propane exists as both liquid and gas. The liquid propane sits at the bottom of the tank, while propane vapor occupies the space above it. When you turn on a propane-powered appliance, vapor is drawn from the tank and sent through a regulator to the equipment. As the vapor is used, more liquid propane naturally evaporates to replace it, maintaining a steady fuel supply. One of the most important components of the system is the regulator. Propane inside a tank is stored at high pressure, which can vary based on temperature. The regulator reduces this pressure to a safe, consistent level that appliances such as furnaces, water heaters, stoves, and generators can use efficiently. For homeowners looking for dependable propane delivery, tank installation, and expert service, First Fuel & Propane provides professional propane solutions to help ensure your system operates safely and efficiently throughout the year.
The capacity of a large container of water can vary significantly depending on its design and intended use. Generally, large containers, such as tanks or barrels, can hold anywhere from 100 liters to several thousand liters. For example, a standard large water tank might have a capacity of about 1,000 liters (1 cubic meter), while industrial tanks can hold tens of thousands of liters.
Tanks that collect waste water are known as "Septic Tanks". These are mostly used for residential and small commercial properties in areas that are not served by Public Sewer facilities. Septic Tanks are typically made of high-strength cast concrete, often reinforced with steel bars or mesh. They typically have a capacity of approximately 900 to 2500 gallons.
The letters "TW" on a propane tank stand for "Tested Water," indicating that the tank has been tested for water capacity. "DT" refers to "Design Type," which is part of the tank's specification related to its design and construction. These markings help ensure the tank meets safety regulations and standards for storage and transportation of propane.
Probably not a very sensible idea. Water tanks are unlikely to be rated for the pressures used for LPG tanks, and LPG, being both flammable and explosive, is not the stuff that you want to play with.
