Respect Basic Safety Considerations
- Firstly, before transporting or storing disconnected cylinders, plug or cap all cylinder outlets.
- Never transport or store a cylinder lying on its side unless it's a cylinder designed for horizontal use.
- Never store propane containers indoors, which includes your garage, shed, or tent.
- Never use, store or transport your cylinder where it could be exposed to temperatures greater than 52 degrees Celsius (125 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Never use, store, or transport cylinders in the passenger space or living area of your R.V. or camper.
- When travelling in an R.V., in most provinces, it’s law that all appliances and pilot lights must be turned off and cylinder valves closed.
- Don't transport or use propane containers that are damaged, show signs of corrosion, have been exposed to fire, or appear to be leaking. Contact your propane supplier for direction.
- Store cylinders outdoors away from heat or sources of ignition (matches, smoking materials, barbecues, spark-producing electrical tools, etc.), in a secure, well-ventilated area, and off the ground on a non-combustible base.
- Never smoke while handling a propane cylinder.
- Never store or place spare cylinders under or near the barbecue.
- If your propane-fuelled vehicle is involved in a collision or other accident, ensure the gas supply is shut off at the container and have the system checked by a qualified service technician.
