Transporting Cylinders

Working safely with Gas Cylinders

Drive safely, arrive safely. There are some basic rules to follow when transporting cylinders:

  • No smoking.
  • Check that cylinder valves are properly closed and that valve caps are fitted.
  • Ventilate your vehicle.
  • Disconnect regulators, hoses and torches etc.
  • Secure cylinders properly to prevent them from moving.
  • Go directly to your destination.
  • Do not leave cylinders inside the boot or in an unventilated place.
  • Immediately unload at destinations, or if stopping for a longer time store in a ventilated place.
