The above ground tank can sit closer to the house wall than an underground, according to the Suburban Gas gentleman who came out to give us an estimate. My cooktop is situated on an exterior wall on the side of the house, therefore if a tank can go in right there, a line could be run right directly into that wall and provide gas to the cooktop.
The problem is, an underground tank has to be 10 feet from the house wall and then an allowance of another 1+ feet is needed for the actual size of the tank. We don't have that much space on that side of our house, before infringing on neighbor's yard. So if we did have enough space, then yes - the underground tank gas line could be piped in directly through the same wall.
