D.O.T. Propane Cylinders in the Austin, TX Area
Safe Transportation of Propane Cylinders
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.
