carport, garage, porch, covered patio, or other
building. Never leave an LP tank inside a vehicle
which may become overheated by the sun.
Do not store an LP tank in an area where

12” (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18” (45.7cm) (tall) with 20
lb. (9kg.) capacity maximum.

for transportation of dangerous goods. Transport
Canada (TC). See LP tank collar for marking.

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when
produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an
odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be
smelled.
LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite
unexpectedly when mixed with air.
LP Tank Filling
Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
LP dealer must purge new tank before filling.
Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than 80% of
LP tank volume. Volume of propane in tank will vary
by temperature.
A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately
close LP tank valve and call local LP gas dealer for
assistance.
Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the
atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.
To remove gas from LP tank, contact an LP dealer or
call a local fire department for assistance. Check the
telephone directory under “Gas Companies” for
nearest certified LP dealers.
NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or
near the appliance or in an enclosed area.
Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
If the information in the two points above is
not followed exactly, a fire causing death or
serious injury may occur.
An overfilled or improperly stored cylinder is
a hazard due to the possible gas release
from the safety relief valve. This could cause
an intense fire with risk of property damage,
serious injury, or death.
If you see, smell, or hear gas escaping,
immediately get away from the LP cylinder
and appliance and call your fire department.
