What is the recommended distance between LP gas tanks and ignition sources?

The recommended distance between LP gas tanks and ignition sources is 25 feet. This guideline is established to ensure safety by minimizing the risk of fire or explosion that could occur if a gas leak were to happen near an ignition source, such as open flames, electrical equipment, or any other potential spark-producing items. Maintaining this distance creates a buffer zone that significantly reduces the likelihood of an incident, allowing for safer installation and use of LP gas systems.

In the context of safety regulations, this distance helps facilitate proper ventilation and reduces the chances of an ignition source coming into contact with leaking gas. Understanding these distances is crucial for anyone involved in the retail sale and management of LP gas in order to maintain compliance with safety standards and protect public safety.
