G36 New York Propane License Practice Test

Where should propane cylinders be stored when not in use?

Lying on their side in a garage. Upright, in a well-ventilated outdoor area away from heat and ignition sources. Inside a heated room. In a sealed plastic container.

Correct Answer:

Upright, in a well-ventilated outdoor area away from heat and ignition sources.

Explanation:

Propane cylinders must be stored outdoors in an upright position in a well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. This setup helps prevent gas from accumulating and catching fire if a leak occurs. Propane is heavier than air, so any leaked gas tends to settle low; keeping the cylinder upright and ventilated ensures vapors disperse rather than collect. Storing on the side in a garage, or indoors in a heated room, or in a sealed plastic container can trap gas and bring it close to ignition sources, creating a serious fire or explosion hazard.
