CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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.
