Dos
• Always follow the advice and directions of emergency services – SES, Fire and/or Police
• If a fire approaches or you are told to evacuate:
a) Turn your LPG cylinder or tank valve off (turn clockwise)
b) Leave your LPG cylinders in an upright position – the safety release valve is designed to protect the cylinder when exposed to high temperature
c) Leave LPG cylinders or tanks in the location they were installed
d) If you have a Bulk LPG tank and it includes a pumping station – activate the Emergency Shutoff Valve, or press the Shut Emergency Stop button
Don’ts
• Do not move LPG cylinders (including BBQ bottles) from their installed position to inside buildings, sheds, basements, garages, vehicles or on a veranda/patio
• Never leave any combustible material around the tank or cylinders
• Never lay your LPG cylinders on their side
