Your Source For Cylinder & Propane Tank Safety.
Euliss Propane prioritizes safety with every delivery we make and propane tank we install. Here’s our guide for transporting small propane cylinders safely:
Cylinder Safety
Keep It Secure
Always transport and store propane tanks and cylinders in a secure and upright position so they will not fall, shift or roll.
Close The Valve
Always close the cylinder valve and seal with a plug, if required. Ask your propane representative if you need a plug.
Ventilation Is Key
Always place cylinders in a well-ventilated area, following these rules:
- Never keep a filled cylinder in a hot vehicle or transport it in a closed truck.
- Never store a propane cylinder in an enclosed space like a basement, garage, shed or tent.
- Never store in an area of excessive heat (120 degrees or higher) or near a stove, fireplace, or other heat source. The heat builds up pressure inside the cylinder, which may cause the pressure relief valve to release propane.
- Never store a propane tank under or near a barbecue grill.
Don’t Detour
Always proceed directly to your destination and immediately remove the cylinder from your vehicle.
Limit Cylinders
State and local codes limit the number of cylinders transported in closed-bodied vehicles like cars and vans. Ask us for more info.
Extinguish Flames
Do not smoke or have ignition sources such as flames or spark-producing electrical tools in the area while handling or transporting cylinders.
Don’t Repair
Do not try to modify or repair a propane cylinder or appliance parts under any circumstances.
