Propane Safety
Tanks
- Please don't bring propane tanks inside the store.
- We inspect all tanks for certification date and condition before refilling.
- If the tanks are not valid we are licensed to recertify the tanks at the location for a small fee.
- Tanks that have a dent, excessive rust, missing collar or foot ring can not be filled by law
- All grill BBQ cylinders must be equipped with an Overfill Prevention Device (OPD valve).
- If a tank is found leaking while filling we must keep the tank by law and can not release it back.
- We purge new tanks. Purging is important as it prevents high internal pressure and opening of the safety valve.
- Propane smells like a rotten egg, excessive smell might be a sign of leakage. Immediately turn the valve off and calle local fire department.
Transporting Propane tanks
- Always keep your propane tanks upright and secure when transporting. Tanks should never be laid on the side.
- Do Not leave the filled tank in the vehicle. Heat and motion can increase pressure to an unsafe level. This may cause the safety valve to vent propane gas and create a flammable, explosive environment.
- Store and use propane cylinders only in well-ventilated areas and never bring a propane cylinder indoors.
