Small Cylinder Transportation

               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 a plug, even if the cylinder is empty. Ask your retailer if a plug is required

  • Never keep a filled cylinder inside a hot vehicle or transport it inside a closed trunk.

  • 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.

 

**The law places limits on the number of cylinders and the amount of propane that can be transported in closed-bodied vehicles such as passenger cars and vans. Ask your retailer for more information on state and local codes the apply to you.
