When propane containers are filled to 80% level there is available
space for safe expansion of the vaporized liquid. Should your
container become slightly overfilled, pressure may rise due to hot
sun. It could cause the overflow valve to “blow off” and emit a small
quantity of propane vapor. This can be detected by a strong odor
around tanks. Keep open flames away from area. It is best to
remove bottle, take to a safe area and burn-off the excess pressure
by using a torch for several minutes.
When disconnecting propane containers, you must turn the ACME
fitting in a clockwise direction because left-hand threads are utilized.
When
reconnecting,
turn
connections
counterclockwise.
Connections must be tight, however DO NOT over-tighten.
Propane cylinders shall not be placed or stored inside the vehicle. Propane
cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure
by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
