Carring a cylinder in an enclosed vechilce

(1/2) > >>

PTsideshow:


Was up at my LWS yesterday and they had a new notice on the wall. Seems there was a leaking propane cylinder, in a car after the party went and did shopping with the cylinder in the closed hot car. Whether it was a real slow leak or just venting due to cylinder overheating in a closed car. I'm sure it was prompted by a some legal action on the part of the person driving the car! Thought this might be of interest here.

I travel close to 200 miles and carry propane for the grill, 20 pound cylider to be exact. I would think with our modern cars that flow through ventilation would take care of any small amount of leakage will moving. But if you are going to park your car and go shopping on a hot day I'd have to say that that person is a candidate for the Darwin award.  :loco: Unfroutnatley these idots always seem to hurt the inocent people.  :palm:

I always use my truck and have made tank carriers for my 20#, 30# and 40# cylinders and they are tied down so they don't roll or "bounce" around the back of the truck.

I can see it now, a law that says you can't carry propane tanks in the car. Sheeeeeesh

I get the impression that this is in response to the increase in people transporting MC,B and other small oxygen and fuel gas cylinders in trunks, car passenger compartment or vans. In addition to LP cylinders, as the U tube vids show them going up.  Sort of stupid human tricks! As the latest unreality on cable dealing with stupid stuff on wheels. The only good thing is it would appear from the commercials, that some of the males will not be able to hopefully pass on their defective gene's. And they have removed themselves form the gene pool of the planet.

Most if not all probably involved alkyhaul, Which is a clear indication that they have no clue what really is involved in pulling off stunts.  :doh:
