Propane has now become a widely used fuel. It is used in commercial as well as residential setups. Propane is a cost-effective, versatile, and safe fuel. To use this versatile fuel, one needs a propane tank to store the fuel. The installation, dispensing, and refilling of propane is governed by various laws and regulations. This is to ensure that the fuel is stored safely and securely.

If you are a propane user, you must understand the various rules and regulations so that you comply with them and keep your premises safe.

Where can you place your propane tank?

Before you install a propane tank, you will need to consider the depth and clearance guidelines. Finding answers to the below questions will help you decide the location:

  • Where are openings like windows and doors located?
  • Which location in the yard has space for the propane tank and adheres to the placement guidelines?
  • What property lines you must consider?
  • Are there any other sources of ignition around your home?

You should also factor in the other systems that are installed in your home so that propane tank installation does not cause any disturbance.

  • Identify the location of the irrigation system and the sprinkler so that during propane tank installation they don’t get damaged.
  • Consider the placement of the septic tank, as during delivery of propane the concrete lids and covers could get damaged.
  • Make a note of overhead power lines. Low hanging lines are at the risk of getting uprooted during delivery.

Some basic regulations

The exact placement rules vary as per the size of the propane tank. A tank of 100 gallons must be placed at a distance of 5 feet from any opening in the building and a minimum of 10 feet away from a source of ignition. This tank size is most commonly used in cooking, temporary heating, and running power grills. A 500 gallons tank should be 10 feet away from an opening and 10 feet away from the source of ignition and line of adjoining property. These tanks are used in homes that need more heating, run multiple appliances, or commercial setups like restaurants. You must take these distance requirements very seriously to ensure that the placement of your tanks is compliant and safe.

These rules may seem very confusing. You must be wondering; how will you remember so many technical details. However, you need not worry as your local propane service provider will take care of this. All certified providers have complete knowledge of all local guidelines and ensure that they are adhered to.

Hire a reliable service provider

It is imperative that you choose a reliable and trustworthy company for propane tank installation, maintenance, and refill. The safety protocols do not end at the installation. You need regular maintenance, inspections, and checks for rusting, structural integrity, and leaks. Therefore, it is best to work with a company that understands the state and county guidelines and can ensure proper installation and ongoing usage.

Key considerations while selecting a service provider:

  • Check for licenses and certifications.
  • Ask if the company is a registered service provider.
  • Check for insurance coverage. Always opt for a company that has insurance coverage so that you don’t have to bear the cost of any damage.
  • Ask what their service hours are. Most of the good companies offer 24X7 customer service.
  • Check for after-hours services in case of emergency.
  • Check the safety records. Give higher preference to a company with a flawless safety record.
  • Ask for testimonials from past customers.
  • Confirm if they offer automatic delivery or only on-call delivery.

Keeping the above points in mind will help you choose a reliable service provider whom you can trust for a safe and guaranteed propane tank installation, maintenance, and refill.
