Propane tanks in a hot air balloon are used to supply fuel for the burner, which heats the air inside the envelope. This heated air causes the balloon to rise, as it becomes less dense than the cooler air outside. The burner intermittently ignites the propane to maintain the desired temperature and altitude during flight. Proper management of the propane supply is crucial for ensuring a safe and effective flight.

What will happen if you smoke by a propane tank?

In normal circumstances, nothing will happen. Gas tanks are designed and built to prevent leakage so there should be no propane in the air around the tank. In the event that the tank becomes faulty or the valve is opened to let propane escape into the air, there is a risk of explosion triggered by cigarettes, other flames or a spark.


Do propane tanks have air valves?

It doesn't look like they do. When you search for "propane tanks" "air valves" (both quoted), the low number of results suggests they don't go together. A propane valve is slightly different than the valve for a standard air tank. They are known as OPD valves and will only allow gas to escape when the valve is connected to a hose or appliance. This is accomplished by a second internal vlave that must be depressed before gas will flow. Valves for non-flammable gas don't generally have this feature.
