Yes, gas cylinders should be stored outside, on an even surface above ground and in a cage to protect them from the weather and theft. Make sure they stand on an even, non-combustible basis.
We at AGL believe the investment in cylinders by customers shouldn’t go waste, but rather earn cash or discounts on their idle or spare cylinders. Simply contribute your spare cylinders into the AGL pool and earn cash or discount on your gas or accessories purchased. Call us for more details
Method 1: To check how much gas is left in the cylinder, you can subtract the weight of the empty bottle from the total weight of the bottle.
You will find the weight of the empty gas bottle (the tare weight) on the shroud of the cylinder. Put the cylinder on a scale to measure the total weight of the bottle. Subtract the weight of the empty gas bottle from the total weight and you will know how much gas is left in the bottle.
Method 2: Gently pour a glass of hot water on the side of the cylinder. With your hand, touch the side of the cylinder. The cylinder will feel cooler where the cylinder still contains liquidized gas. The gas bottle will feel warmer where there is no gas.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is colourless, odourless liquid which readily evaporates into a gas. Normally odour is added to it to help detect leakage.
LPG is a clean source of fuel- The clean burning properties and portability of LPG provide a substitute for indigenous fuels such as wood, coal, and other organic matter. This provides a solution to de-forestation and the reduction of particulate matter in the atmosphere (haze), caused by burning the indigenous fuels.
LPG is highly portable, and hence, can be easily transported in cylinders or tanks to end-users.
