CONNECTION — Liquid Propane Gas Grills

m WARNING: An LP (propane) tank is overfilled if it contains more than 80% by weight of its total capacity of propane (LP). An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP (propane) tank can be dangerous. If this information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur. If a tank is overfilled and the weather causes the warming of the LP tank, (a hot day, tank left in sun or stored indoors) internal pressure is created due to expansion of the propane which in turn causes the LP gas to be released through the pressure relief valve on the tank. The pressure relief valve is a safety device required on 20 lb. propane tanks by the Department of Transportation to prevent a catastrophic tank failure due to excessive pressure. LP gas released from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.
