connection — liquid propane Gas Grills
m wArNiNG: An lp (propane) tank is overfilled if it contains
more than 80% by weight of its total capacity of propane
(lp). An incorrectly filled or an overfilled lp (propane)
tank can be dangerous. if this information is not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur. if
a tank is overfilled and the weather causes the warming of
the lp tank, (a hot day, tank left in sun or stored indoors)
internal pressure is created due to expansion of the
propane which in turn causes the lp gas to be released
through the pressure relief valve on the tank. the pressure
relief valve is a safety device required on 20 lb. propane
tanks by the Department of transportation to prevent a
catastrophic tank failure due to excessive pressure. lp gas
released from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.
