3.5 Transporting propane tanks
When transporting cylinders to a propane dealer or to a job, make sure the cylinders are secu-
rely fastened and standing in an upright position with the service valve closed.
• A cylinder rattling around in the back of a vehicle and banging into other objects constitutes
a hazard. Avoid dropping or banging cylinders against sharp objects.
• The propane cylinders are sturdily constructed but a series of hard jolts could cause damage.
• Please note that any cylinder that has been filled is always considered full, no matter how
little propane gas remains in it. This is because even when all liquid has evaporated into vapor
there is still some propane gas vapor left in the cylinder. Because this remaining fuel is flamma -
ble, an empty cylinder should be treated with the same careful procedures as one that is filled
to the 80% level with liquid propane. The only time that a cylinder is considered empty is when
it is new, before it has been filled with propane.
• When transporting a propane powered floor machine, the propane cylinder may be strapped
onto the machine as long as the machine itself is firmly secured in the vehicle.
• Of course, spare cylinders should always be secured in an upright position.
