When it comes to propane forklift cylinders, accuracy isn’t optional — it’s a safety requirement.
At Mid-Atlantic Propane Exchange, we want every customer to understand why filling cylinders by weight is so important.
Why Fill by Weight?
Always fill cylinders on a certified scale. Filling by weight helps ensure the cylinder is not overfilled and remains within the safe 80% fill limit.
Why Avoid Filling Directly from a Tank Truck Without a Scale?
- Increased risk of overfilling
- Reduced space for propane expansion
- Higher chance of pressure relief valve discharge
- Greater risk of leaks, equipment damage, and serious safety hazards
Protect Your Team and Facility
Safe propane handling starts with doing the job the right way — not the fastest way. Proper filling procedures protect your employees, equipment, and facility.
