as vented propane gas will seek a lower level since it is
heavier than air and could find its way into the basement of
the building. Do not store cylinders full or empty inside a
building or inside a vehicle. Although it is unlikely that
propane will vent from a stored cylinder, if it should, the
vapor could come in contact with an ignition source such as
a spark from a power tool or other appliance and create a
flash fire.

Do not smoke or use a device with an open flame when
handling or transporting propane cylinders.
TRANSPORTING CYLINDERS

When transporting cylinders to a propane dealer or to a
job, make sure the cylinders are securely 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 flammable, 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.
