Do propane tanks need to sit upright?

NEVER keep a filled propane cylinder inside a hot vehicle. ALWAYS transport a cylinder in a secure, upright position so it will not fall, shift, or roll when youre driving. It is dangerous to travel with a tank on its side, so its extremely important to keep the propane tank in a vertical position during transport.

Where should a gas tank be placed on a grill?

Propane tanks should always be stored outdoors, in well-ventilated areas. Storing propane tanks in garages or sheds is discouraged because if a valve isnt fully closed, vapors could escape and concentrate indoors. A flat, level outdoor area that is out of direct sunlight is the ideal location.

Should you open propane tank valve all the way?

You should open a propane tank valve all the way when using a grill. The valves are double sealing which means they seal in a fully open or closed position. Turning it partially increases the chances of gas leaking. Turn the valve counterclockwise (in the “Open” arrow direction) until it stops.
