With summer in full swing and outdoor cooking season heating up, proper propane cylinder storage is more important than ever. At Mid-Atlantic Propane Exchange, we want to help businesses, food trucks, restaurants, and commercial facilities stay safe during the hot months.
Key Summer Propane Cylinder Storage Safety Tips
- Store cylinders outdoors only in a well-ventilated area
- Keep tanks upright at all times
- Protect cylinders from excessive heat and direct sunlight when possible
- Maintain at least 10 feet of clearance from ignition sources such as grills, fire pits, and electrical equipment
- Regularly inspect cylinders for rust, damage, or leaks before use
- Never store propane cylinders indoors — including garages, sheds, basements, or vehicles
Why This Matters
Rising summer temperatures can increase pressure inside propane cylinders. Following these simple safety practices helps prevent accidents and keeps your team, customers, and property safe while enjoying outdoor cooking and events.
