Safe Transportation of Propane Cylinders

When transporting portable propane cylinders, it’s crucial to follow these guidelines to ensure safety:

Secure Positioning

Always transport and store cylinders in a secure and upright position to prevent them from falling, shifting, or rolling.

Valve Safety

Ensure the cylinder valve is closed and, if necessary, sealed with a plug, even when the cylinder is empty.

Ventilation

Place cylinders in a well-ventilated area of your vehicle and proceed directly to your destination.

Heat Exposure

Avoid leaving a filled cylinder inside a hot vehicle or transporting it in a closed trunk to prevent pressure build-up and potential hazards.

Guidelines for Storing Portable Cylinders

Proper storage of propane cylinders is just as important as safe transportation:

Outdoor Storage: Never store propane cylinders indoors or in enclosed areas such as basements, garages, sheds, or tents.

Avoid Heat Sources: Do not place cylinders near stoves, fireplaces, or any source of heat. Exposure to high temperatures can trigger the pressure relief valve, risking flash fires or explosions.

Grill Safety: Never store a spare cylinder under or near a barbecue grill.

No Smoking: Avoid smoking and the use of ignition sources such as spark-producing tools near cylinders.

Handling and Repair

Do Not Tamper: Never attempt to modify or repair valves, regulators, or any parts of the cylinder or associated appliances. Always seek professional assistance for repairs.
