Mobile kitchens, shower and laundry trailer water heaters, some tent heaters and many generators run on propane. KDT supplies it in the size that fits: 20 and 100 lb cylinders on exchange for small cooking and heating, and 250, 500 and 1,000 gallon tanks set on site and filled by bobtail truck for kitchens, showers and long-running loads.
Propane stores indefinitely, works in cold weather and doesn't spill like liquid fuel, which makes it a strong backup fuel for hurricane response and remote camps. We set tanks on stable ground with clearances from tents, ignition sources and traffic, connect regulators and hose or piping to the appliances through qualified technicians, leak-check every connection and refill before the tank runs low.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide propane tanks and delivery?
Yes. We supply cylinders and 250 to 1,000 gallon tanks, set and connect them, and keep them filled for the length of the incident.
What size propane tank does an incident kitchen need?
A busy incident kitchen usually runs from a 500 or 1,000 gallon tank so it isn't refilled every day. Smaller operations can run on manifolded 100 lb cylinders. We size it from the appliances and the meal count.
How often do propane tanks get refilled?
We watch tank gauges and refill before they drop low, usually around 20–30% remaining, on a schedule set by how fast the camp burns it.
Is propane safe around tents?
When it's set up right. Tanks go outside with clearances from tents and ignition sources, every connection is leak-checked, and propane appliances in occupied spaces need proper venting and carbon monoxide detectors.
