LP-GAS SAFETY TIPS

Liquid Propane gas is one of the safest and most reliable fuels available on the market when handled

properly. LP-Gas, however, does have a great explosive “potential" if handled improperly. Danger is
minimized by becoming familiar with and following a few safety precautions, and by learning how to
properly operate LP-Gas appliances. Use of LP-Gas requires the responsibility to enforce extra safety
measures.

The motorhome is equipped with many LP-Gas operated appliances because it is a convenient and

efficient source of fuel. LP-Gas appliances must be operated and maintained in accordance with the
product manufacturer’s instructions.

The National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) has a special service program offered called GAS

®

(Gas

Appliance System) Check. The GAS

® 

Check program is aimed at educating users about the convenience

of LP-Gas with safety and peace of mind. For information on the

NPGA Gas

®

Check program, call

(202) 466-7200 or visit www.npga.org.

LP-Gas Tanks and Cylinders:

Tanks are built to American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code. The cylinders are built

to DOT (Department of Transportation) Code. The major difference between cylinders and tanks is in
required testing and inspection procedures, and in construction of the containers. Both tanks and cylinders
are required to undergo pressure testing and inspection; however, the procedures for how they are tested
and inspected differ.

The difference between the two codes are that the valves, fittings and brackets are located only on the

ends of the DOT cylinders; however, on the ASME tanks they may be located on ends, as well as the
sides. There is also a difference in how the tanks are rated. Required tank ratings are in gallons (ASME
ratings) or pounds (DOT) water capacity. The Federal DOT (Department of Transportation) regulations
require periodic inspections and re-qualifications of cylinders. 

American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) tanks or bulk containers are generally used in

motorhomes, and are permanently mounted on to the unit.

An alloy steel two-piece welded and brazed tank is used on all towable products. The marking on the

collar, DOT 4BA240, identifies the DOT specifications and service pressure. Other pertinent information
included on the collar is the water capacity (WC) and the tare weight (TW), both which are measured in
pounds, and the manufacture date (one of the most important items). There is a required 12 year
re-qualification. The final piece of information is Dip Tube (DT) length. This is part of the overfill
protection and maximum liquid allowance in the cylinder.
