Propane tanks

[sagebel]

Our movers won't transport the tanks to the grill and turkey fryer. Can I transport them on thier side or do I have to leave them upright? They will only be on their side for 6 days at the most.

You can turn them on their sides if you want. It will not hurt anything.

You can transport them on their sides but it is illegal. They are suppose to be transported upright and chained to a rack. The only reason I know is I have been nailed for it before. Insecure/ unsafe load was the ticket I got.

Use up the propane, and transport them empty.

Transport 'em in the bed of your truck...tie 'em down...vertical or horizontal
doesnt matter. I hauled 3 20lb cyl & and argon tank 1400 miles when
we moved to houston...didnt have a problem.

You will be fine. Agree that they have to be transported upright as well here as there is a guy down the road that has a speacial trailer for 20lb tanks, but you will be fine. Nothing is going to happen and even if someone saw it is not like you are transfering nuclear waste haha. those tanks are tough as nails and nothing is going to happen to it on its own....it is just liqued in a metal tank.

I got multiple Propane and unleaded gas cans because my brothers movers would not transport them.

After re-arranging the load, the tanks will be verticle. Thanks for the input.
