1. Never allow your (LP) Liquid Propane-gas container to be filled above the maximum safe level as indicated by a
scale or the fixed liquid level gauge (outage). Do not use the visible gauge for filling.
2. Do not use a wrench or pliers to close the service valve or fixed liquid level gauge. These valves are designed
to be closed leak-tight by hand or screw-driver as appropriate. If wrenches are necessary to stop a leak, the valve
needs repair or replacement.
3. When tightening the POL Nut (left hand thread) on the service valve, draw it up snug with a proper wrench. This
is a machined male brass fitting which seats securely against a female seat in the POL valve - no pipe dope is
necessary.
4. Acme/Type 1 valves have right handed threads which are secure when hand tight, and on the Quick Disconnect/
Type 2 Valves, the male connection is inserted into the female connection on the cylinder valve. (No wrenches
required for the Acme or the Quick Disconnect.)
5. When using container, slowly open service valve all the way. Listen to the regulator. A continuous hiss or “click-
ing” sound may indicate a leak or an open valve on an appliance.
6. Check all tanks and the line connections periodically to be sure they are tight. When testing for leaks, use an
approved ammonia-free leak detector solution, not matches.
7. Make certain your container is properly fastened in place.
8. Turn container with open part of container guard towards trailer (travel trailer installation). This protects valves and
regulator against flying rocks and mud. Transport container in the proper position in which it is used, with the valves
closed and POL plugs inserted for POL valves or dust caps for ACME valves. Secure the tank against falling or rolling.
9. Check for leaks after connecting. Apply approved leak detector solution to connection, turn off all burners and
pilots, and open service valve. Leaks will be detected by the growth of the bubbles. If bubbles grow, tighten or repair
the connection as needed. Repeat leak test until problem is corrected.
10. LP-gas is normally non-corrosive; you need not worry about the inside of your container. However, the outside
should be kept free from rust by a periodic coat of paint in a light reflective color. It is very important to inspect and
maintain the bottom and foot ring on the container.
11. Do not store LP-gas containers indoors or in en-closed areas. Do not expose LP-gas container to heat. Always
store with service valve closed and plugged or capped as required.
12. Do not attempt to repair any containers, container valves, regulator or appliances by yourself. Use only trained
certified LP-gas service personnel to perform repairs.
