Best Answer

Yes, in most areas. Check local restrictions on the quantity of flammable materials allowable in your home or garage. Make sure the storage area has some ventilation and is free of ignition sources. Keep oxidizers like fertilizer, car batteries, etc., well apart in a separate storage area.

What are the main consideration for the storage of compressed gas cylinder?

Go and check safety regulations, and do it thoroughly. Some cylinders must be stored under very strict conditions - acetylene cylinders, for instance, contain a fusible pressure release plug that may leak acetylene, and an acetylene-air mixture is highly explosive. Check the regs.


Why must acetylene cylinders be stored upright?

Because the acetylene is stored dissolved in acetone. You don't want to get any liquid acetone up into the valve area where it can get into the regulator, as it can damage the regulator. If the tank does go on its side, be sure to set it upright and let it be for awhile before putting it in use.

Can a 5 lb tank have be stored on its side?

The Compressed Gas Association recommends against storing compressed gas cylinders on their sides for 3 reasons: * Acetylene (dissolved in acetone) uncovers explosive crystals that can detonate. * Cylinders may have water that can start corrosion on the thin side walls and cause a tank to fail faster than it would if stored upright since the bottom is thicker. * Cylinders can roll and injure a person or become damaged None of these reasons really apply to your propane tank. You will find that propane tanks are commonly stored horizontally and are even used horizontally (propane powered forklifts, for instance).


What is the shelf life of gasoline?

Gasoline shelf life depends on the storage environment. If stored properly, gasoline is good for a very long time, but if stored improperly, it can deteriorate in less than a month.


Does gasoline expand in gas stations on a hot day?

Gasoline is stored in tanks underground. The outside temperature has no effect on the temperature of the fuel stored underground.


Can argon be stored with oxygen or acetylene?

Argon is an inert gas- it does not react with any other gasses. While fuel gasses (acetylene) and oxygen must be separated during storage due to the fire hazard, there IS no fire hazard from an inert gas. It may be stored with fuel gasses or with oxygen.
