There is a lot more to installing a propane tank than simply turning it over and hooking up the gas lines. Where to install it and how to secure it are two of the most important considerations and professionals from Wildhorse Propane & Appliances, the propane company that serves Salinas and other communities in California’s central coast, have some tips on proper installation.

Propane is stored under pressure and as long as the tank, tubes and connections are not compromised in any way, there is no problem. Propane tanks are extremely durable, being 20 times more puncture-resistant than other types of fuel storage tanks, but when something happens to damage the tank, connections or pipes, it can still be dangerous.

Safely installing a propane tank includes the following:

Locate the propane tank where it is easily accessible for delivery. The need to open a drive-through gate near the tank is one thing. Having to drive a large propane truck through an obstacle course of parked vehicles, landscaping, awnings, and buildings outside complicates the delivery process. Along the same lines, avoid locating your propane tank as it will be in the path of farm vehicles and equipment. The tank should also be placed at a safe distance from the structures in the event of a fire or earthquake damaging the tank. It’s also a good idea to position the tank so that there’s a good 10 to 12 feet of clearance that’s easy to keep away from weeds, shrubs, trees, and electric poles. Even a small grass fire can be dangerous near a propane tank. A storm or earthquake may dislodge trees or poles causing them to fall on or near the tank, potentially damaging the tank and gas pipelines. It is also important to secure and install the tank. A heavy rainstorm can soften the ground causing a heavy reservoir to turn and sink. An earthquake can also cause an unlocked tank to shift, pipes to break, and connections to loosen. Ensure that all connections are tight and secure and that the propane flows where it is supposed to go without leaking. Salinas propane experts from Wildhorse Propane & Appliances can help determine the best location for your tank. The team will also determine the best way to secure this tank. This may include creating a secure, sturdy platform on which the tank can be secured to help prevent shifting or sinking. Any possible diversion of the tank could loosen or break the pipes and connections causing a dangerous gas leak. The team makes sure that all communications are secure and that the system is working and problem-free. One of the last things to happen after filling the tank and leaving is bypassing the propane safety to make sure the resident or business owner knows how to: Read gauges and know when to order delivery Locate and turn on the main shutdown emergency exit valve Set up a regular delivery schedule to avoid running out of propane
