Hi there!

Need some advice about the standard storage for Gas Cylinders and LPG Tanks. Can they be place in one storage area? Can sunlight penetrate the tanks if they are expose everyday at around 40 to 45 degrees centigrade?


Thanks in advance...

Is this bulk storage? By that I mean are you storing large quantities of cylinders outdoors in a locked compound?

Assuming this is not bulk storage data sheets recommend storage upto 40 degrees centigrade (beyond this you should consider some means of cooling) and separation from other explosive gases (varying degree of separation depending on quantities involved, see link for data sheet:
