Propane Tank Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will my propane tank be compromised if there is fire or heat around it?
    Although propane tanks are designed and built to withstand extreme conditions there is always the possibility that a tank can explode in extreme circumstances. The tank has built-in pressure relief valves that will release excess pressure as a result of the high temperatures; these valves will open and close to relieve the internal pressure in the tank. If the relief valves are unable to keep up due to extreme conditions, the tank can become compromised. Do not attempt to repair, disconnect, alter or move the tank.
  • What should I do to protect my propane tank from the fire?
    The only thing you should do is turn off the propane supply valve located on the tank. This is typically located under the dome; the valve should be turned clockwise to the right until it stops.
  • Do I need to disconnect anything from my propane tank?
    No, please do not alter the tank in any way; no disconnecting of any components is recommended.
  • What should I do with my propane appliances?
    Propane appliances should be turned off from the power switch or unplugged during an emergency. Do not put yourself in danger to do this.
  • Should I move my propane tank?
    No, the tank has been installed in a location as approved in the B 149 code and should not be relocated.
  • Will there be propane deliveries in the wildfire-affected area?
    Propane deliveries have been suspended in the emergency area and will not resume until safe to do so and authorized by emergency responders.
