I think you mean 100-pound propane tank. Here's the exact one I bought when I bought my house:

As my stove runs off propane (it's actually the only thing in my house that does). I only have to take it to get it filled about once a year with regular cooking habits for a single 32 year old guy. It equates to about 23-24 gallons of propane, $135 for the empty tank, and it costs me about $45-$50 to get filled when I need to.
Edit: added some more info.
Sorry to say I don't have any experience other than day-dreaming of the day I can install one at my house.
Might want to check with your local utility to see if any natural gas lines are near your property. If you were to roll it into a bigger project, such as converting your heat from oil to NG, you might get some sort of utility rebate or sharing of the gas line construction cost. (total speculation here)
The generators can also run of LP gas, so you could run it off a large(ish) refillable tank instead. If you look at the specs of the generators it will say how many gallons per hour it consumes at 50% load. For the 9kW model its 0.87 gallons/hour. Which means a 100lb tank would last a little over 1 day of continuous use. A 420lb "100 gallon" tank would last about 4.5 days at half load. Something else to consider.
