都要知道如何安全地運用這些小事項。

Do not bring your propane tank indoors for any reason.

不管怎麼樣就是不可以把瓦斯桶拿到室內。

All propane usage, inspections, storage or refills should be done outside.

全部有關於丙烷的使用、檢查、存放、或是補充都應該要在室外解決。

Always keep your propane tank upright and secure.

都要記得保持你們的瓦斯桶直立並且安全的。

We recommend using a tank foot, ez-go or other tank holder while storing your tank to keep it stable.

我們推薦使用簡單攜帶式的瓦斯桶，或是有個瓦斯桶的固定架，來確保你們瓦斯桶的位子。

Wipe down your propane tank with a solution of soapy water to check for leaks.

用肥皂水來擦拭你們的瓦斯桶，並檢查是否有漏氣。

If a leak is present, bubbles will form.

如果有漏氣，則會看到小泡泡冒出來。

If you find a leak, turn the valve off and check the system.

如果你們有發現漏氣，就要把瓦斯供氣閥關閉並檢查系統。

Propane in its natural state is odorless.

丙烷在天然情況下是無味的。

Rotten-egg odor is added to propane for safety.

臭雞蛋的味道加進丙烷，是來確保是否有氣體外露現象。

If you notice the smell, remove any source of flame from the area, turn the valve off and have your propane tank serviced.

如果你們有聞到味道，就要移除周圍任何的火源，並關掉瓦斯供氣閥，同時也檢查你們的瓦斯桶。

Do not smoke or light an open flame near propane tanks.

千萬不要在瓦斯桶附近吸菸或是點燃火花。

Never leave your propane tank in an enclosed vehicle.

也不要把你們的瓦斯桶留在密閉的車子中。

This will cause the pressure relief valve to open, filling your car with dangerous flammable explosive propane vapor.

這個密閉空間會造成瓦斯的減壓閥打開，讓你們車子裡充滿了危險易燃爆炸性的丙烷氣體。

If this happens, call the fire department right away.

如果這真的發生了，請馬上打給消防隊。

When a propane tank is manufactured, air gets into the tank.

當一個瓦斯桶在製造時，空氣會灌入罐子中。

The air needs to be purged from the tank for 2 reasons:

罐子中的空氣是已淨化的，而原因為兩個：

1. The air can cause the odor that is added to the propane to fade.

第一個：淨化後的空氣灌入桶中後，會造成丙烷的味道逐漸消失。

2. When propane is added to air, there are 2 of the 3 items needed for a fire.

第二點：當丙烷加入至空氣後，造成火災的其中兩樣東西就已完成。

All that is needed is a small spark and the tank can explode.

之後就只要一點點的火花，這個瓦斯罐就會爆炸。

If your tank is 12 years or older, it must be re-qualified before it is safe for refill or usage.

如果你們的瓦斯罐有 12 年的歷史或是更久，在重灌或是使用罐子之前，就必須再次認證安全性。

Find a local commercial dealer to re-qualify your tank.

找一個當地經銷商來再次認證你們的瓦斯罐。

After your tank has been re-qualified, your tank is good for another 5 years.

在瓦斯罐重新認證之後，就可以維持接下來的 5 年。

Small vertical propane cylinders, 40 pounds and smaller, must be equipped with an overfill protection device.

小型直立瓦斯桶， 40 磅重也比較小，必須要安裝一個防溢充裝置。

Before using your small cylinder, make sure it is properly equipped with an OPD valve.

在你們用這小小的瓦斯桶前，要確定它有適當地安裝一個防溢充裝置閥。

ASME cylinders, small horizontal cylinders, and large vertical cylinders can be overfilled.
