LP tank should be securely locked by the gas cylinder safety stop at all times. An
unlocked tank may fall or tilt which can cause injury or property damage. It is
recommended to lock the tank all the time.
Refer to Fig. 27 and Fig. 28. After positioning the tank in the opening, lift up the gas
cylinder safety stop to lock the tank. Use only 20 lb. gas tank (see LP Gas Safety
Requirements for Additional Information).
Handling the Liquid Propane Tank Safely
Remember to handle your portable liquid propane tank carefully when you take it to
your dealer for a refill. Avoid dropping it or bumping it against sharp objects. Liquid
propane tanks are sturdily constructed, but a series of hard jolts could damage the
container.
When transporting the tank to your local propane gas dealer, make sure the valve is
closed tightly and the protective cover is in place. Position the tank securely in an
upright position so it will not roll around your vehicle.
If you plan to make stops for shopping or errands, have your liquid propane tank filled
at the last stop before going home. Again, make certain the refilled tank is secure and
in an upright position. When you return home, remove the refilled tank from your
vehicle. Never leave a portable liquid propane tank inside a vehicle that may become
overheated by the sun.
Your local liquid propane gas dealer will gladly offer you additional safety tips.
Storing the Liquid Propane Tank Safely
Whether you are between cross-country treks in your recreational vehicle or looking
for a place to keep the liquid propane tank to provide fuel for your outdoor grill, keep
in mind some basic safety rules about storing portable liquid propane tanks:
Do not store the tanks (whether full or empty) inside your home, the living area of an
R.V., a garage, basement or workshop. It is unlikely that liquid propane will leak from
the tanks. If it should leak, the fuel could be exposed to sparks from automobiles,
power tools or other appliances. When storing or transporting your LP tank, it must
remain in an upright position.
Never lay your LP tank down on its side whether it is full or empty. Never store a
spare tank under or near your grill.
CAUTION: Never transport or move your grill or grill tank without first closing
the manual valve on your liquid propane gas tank.
The best place to store a liquid propane tank is in a shady or protected spot outdoors,
behind your home or garage, or on a screened porch but where it is out of reach of
children. Liquid propane will not evaporate. It is in a strong, closed container. It will not
lose any of its clean-burning heat content, even if left outside year-round.
