Cylinder Safety Tips |
- Always store cylinders upright
- Never use or store a propane cylinder indoors
|
Always Check For Leaks |
- Turn off all valves in the appliance.
- Mix liquid soap or dish washing detergent with water.
- Spread this mixture on all connections/hoses with a small brush.(CONNECTIONS MARKED IN BLUE)
- Turn on the valve.
- If bubbles form, you have a leak.
DO NOT try to repair a damaged cylinder!
Return a damaged cylinder to propane dealer or store. |
 Overfill Prevention Device (OPD)
Available on some refillable cylinders. With an OPD, the cylinder cannot be filled beyond 80%. This allows the room necessary for the expansion of propane. The OPD requirement for all cylinders is in the process of being added to the gas grill standard. |
