We had two 500 gallon LPG tanks on four-wheeled trailers to fuel our tractors from. Two tanks because we didn't always work our tractors in the same field. (MM G-705, G VI, M-5, and later on a small MF of ??designation). During the winter the one tank would be parked about 50 feet from the house so that it supplied the heating LPG. I also fueled my pickup from the farm tank. I would have the dealer charge road taxes on one out of every so many refills. For years LPG would drop to 3¢ or 4¢ per gallon during the summer. For decades we never paid more than 25¢ per gallon. Before dad retired at age 86 we were paying more than 60¢ per gallon. It is a good clean safe fuel if you treat it with respect. You are correct on the tax. No tax on farm fuel (at least not back then), sales tax on household fuel, and both state and federal road tax on vehicle fuel.
