I was told as a rule of thumb figure 1000# for a 1000 gallon tank. Some older ones weigh more. The 300 gallons of LP will weight about 1300 pounds.
DO NOT lift it by the eyes. They are generally rated for 5%. Run chains or straps all the way around it.
Legally it should be pumped down to 5% or less. It should also be placarded, have shipping pappers, driver to have CDL with tanker and haz mat endorsements.
