LPG is flammable like all petroleum fuels. It must be stored away from sources of ignition and in a well-ventilated area.
LPG can be detected by a typically unpleasant odour of gas.
LPG vapour is heavier than air. Any leakage will sink to the ground and accumulate in low lying areas. There are special tanks which are specifically designed for use underground.
LPG expands rapidly when the temperature rises. So whenever a container is filled, sufficient space is left for expansion.
LPG will cause natural rubber and some plastics to deteriorate. Only use hoses and other equipment specifically designed for LPG.
Although LPG is non-toxic, it’s abuse is highly dangerous. Treat LPG with respect.
