REFILLING & STORING PROPANE TANKS
The NFPA Technical Committee prohibits the storage of such containers in buildings. There are few exceptions to
this rule. In other words, propane tanks should NOT be stored in buildings used by the public or frequented by
anyone passing through or who is working in the building. Full or empty, never leave tanks in small enclosed
areas. The tank(s) must be in a secure, tamper-proof storage enclosure that provides safety from accident or
vandalism. PROPANE TANKS SHOULD ALWAYS BE TRANSPORTED, INSTALLED AND USED IN AN
UPRIGHT POSITION.
OVERFILLING PROPANE TANKS IS HAZARDOUS. The tank should NEVER be completely filled with liquid
propane. 80% of the total tank volume is to be considered at ALL times as full. EXPANSION MUST BE
ALLOWED FOR. Propane Burnisher tanks are equipped with a fixed liquid level gauge which contacts the liquid
level at 80% of container capacity, allowing 20% for expansion. The top part of this device must be unscrewed
counterclockwise so that vapor can escape through the small hole it its side, as the tank is refilled. When the
escaping vapor starts to give way to liquid, the device must be quickly closed and the propane nozzle turned off.
The engine and the fuel system on your floor care machine are designed to run on fuel vapor, not fuel liquid.
Overfilling the propane tank will result in damaging the lock off and/or regulator. This will VOID the WARRANTY
on these components.
