We had a 250 GL propane tank buried in the side yard (near the spa heater, out door kitchen) when the developer built the home. The tank is near the kitchen wall where the stove will be installed. All you see above ground is the green dome (about 18" dia) that covers the fill connection and gage. Surburban Propane inspected the installation before they filled the tank the first time to ensure it is safe. I have never heard of a problem with lightening strikes with buried propane tanks. I will provide more feedback after I get the answer from Surburban.
