USE TANK FOOT SAFETY AID

HERE’S WHY... Propane is stored as a liquid under pressure inside the cylinder.
On a hot day, liquid expands and pressure increases. To guard against excessive
pressure, every cylinder is equipped with a pressure relief valve which opens
automatically to release gas and then closes when pressure is reduced.

Liquid propane is highly
volatile. It vaporizes instantly
at a rate of about 270 to 1.)
Put another way; if one cup
of liquid propane is released,
it instantly becomes 270 cups
of pure propane vapor. Mixed
with oxygen, it forms a
combustible fuel which can
readily be ignited by such
ordinary sources as a cigarette
or a spark from an electrical
connection in your automobile.
Unfortunately there have been
many serious personal injury
accidents over the years.
