Storing LPG
Pressure: Store in certified pressure vessels or spheres, or refrigerated tanks for large volumes, kept within design limits.
Containers: Use only approved cylinders, ISO gas tanks and bullets, with pressure relief valves inspected on schedule.

Handling: Odorise before distribution, and never overfill: leave vapour space for thermal expansion.
