Can the Weather Affect my Propane System?

Propane tanks and related gas components can be affected by weather.  

For Example.

Flood waters may: 

1) Float your propane cylinder and damage the connections. 

2) Plug or damage the propane tank relief valve.

3) Enter the top (atmospheric side) of your propane regulator and compromise its function.

Ice formation may:

1)  Damage or break gas connections.

2)  Cause propane tank regulators to malfunction.

Heavy Snow may:

1) Block gas vents

2)  Damage or break gas connections from the propane tank or to the house.

If any of these conditions occur, it is recommended that you shut off your propane supply at the propane tank and contact your local propane specialist to schedule a safety inspection.
