FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN EXPLOSION RESULTING IN DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY
Over-filling the Propane gas tank can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause
fire or explosion. A properly filled tank will contain approximately 80% of its volume as
liquid Propane. An 80% automatic shut-off valve is installed on the Propane gas tank
which will automatically prevent further filling when the gas volume has reached 80%
of tank capacity.
CAUTION
Only personnel trained in the handling of Propane may fill, test or repair the Propane
gas system.
Propane gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing
downward. Regulators that are not in compartments have been equipped with a
protective cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces downward and the cover is
kept in place to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas pressure
causing fire or explosion.
This tank is equipped with an automatic valve designed
to close at 80% liquid full. Always open 20% fixed liquid
level bleeder gauge while filling. Stop filling if liquid
appears before valve shuts off.
ALL PROPANE GAS IS CONTAINED UNDER PRESSURE.
DUE TO THE DANGEROUS POTENTIAL OF ANY
COMPRESSED GAS, IT IS MANDATORY THAT THE
FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USE OF THIS

and maintained in accordance with the state and local
codes, rules, regulations or laws and in accordance with
the NFPA Pamphlet 58, division IV.
