Abstract: A propane gas tank carrier and storage apparatus includes a housing or shell having a base portion, and a top portion having a plurality of openings defining handles. The housing also includes an interior rim or other structure that facilitates stacking of another carrier atop the housing. The sides of the housing include nesting surface structure or topography that permits engagement of side-by-side shells so as to resist lateral and vertical movement when jostled. A hinge and fastener arrangement allows easy opening and secure closing of the shell halves around a propane tank.
