Safe Storage Guidelines
Outdoor Storage Tips
Always store propane tanks upright on a flat surface, away from direct sunlight, grills, electrical equipment, and open flames. Keep them in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
Indoor Storage Precautions
Propane tanks should not be stored indoors—ever. The only exceptions are small, approved cylinders (like those for camping stoves) kept ventilated spaces away from heat and flame. For more on indoor propane safety, read our full guide here.
Seasonal Storage Considerations
Use covers or enclosures to protect from snow, ice, or intense summer heat. In colder weather, make sure to monitor for pressure drops as well.
Propane Maintenance Tips
Keep Your Tanks in Top Shape
Check for Leaks
Apply soapy water to the tank’s valve and hose. If you see bubbles forming, you’ve likely detected a leak; turn off the gas, move away, and contact a professional immediately.
Inspect Valves and Seals
Regularly inspect valves and seals for damage. Always close valves tightly when not in use to prevent leaks and moisture from getting into the system.
Properly Dispose of Old Tanks
Never throw propane tanks in the trash, even if you think they’re empty. Take them to an approved recycling center or contact Pinnacle for advice on safe disposal.
