Automatic Gas - Small Cylinder Safety

Your SAFETY is Our First Priority!

At Greenville Automatic Gas, your safety is our most important priority. Following is information and safety tips for living in a home using propane as an energy source.

Transporting small cylinders...

• Always transport and store a cylinder in a secure and upright position so it will not fall, shift or roll.
• Always close the cylinder valve and, if required, seal with plug, even if the cylinder is empty. Ask if a plug is needed.
• Never keep a filled cylinder inside a hot vehicle or transport inside a closed truck.
• Always place the cylinder in a well-ventilated area of the vehicle.
• Always proceed directly to your destination and immediately remove the cylinder from your vehicle.
• There is a limit placed by law on the number of cylinders that can be transported in closed-bodied vehicles such as passenger cars and vans. Ask us for more information on state and local codes in place to help keep you safe.

Storing small cylinders...

English | Espanõl

• Never store or place a propane cylinder indoors or in an enclosed area such as a basement, garage, shed or tent.
• Never store or place a propane cylinder in an area of excessive heat (120 degrees or higher) or near a stove, fireplace, or other heat source. The heat builds up pressure inside the cylinder, which may cause the pressure relief valve to release propane.
• Never store or place a spare cylinder under or near a barbecue grill.
• Do Not smoke or have any ignition sources such as flames or spark-producing electrical tools in the area while handling or transporting cylinders.
• Do Not under any circumstances try to modify or repair a propane cylinder or appliance parts.
