LPG tank installation explained

LPG is supplied and stored in liquid form, under pressure. The pressure in your storage tank varies from 30 to 120 pounds per square inch, depending on how hot or cold the weather is.

Your tank is fitted with a pressure relief valve, which is set to release the LPG after approximately twice the normal maximum pressure has been reached, but before any pressure damage could occur to the tank shell – a precaution in case of a nearby fire.

Our team has many years of experience and will make recommendations in accordance with the LPG Code Of Practice for the location and installation of your new LPG tank, and talk you through the whole installation process.

Our recommendations are made taking into account the supply to your home, and health and safety issues. If, at anytime in the future, you intend to make any changes to the area surrounding your tank, structural or otherwise, please consult our team, so that we can advise and make sure that your tank is still safe and conforms to legal requirements.

To reduce the risk of fire:

  • Position the tank 3 metres from a building, drain, property boundary or a fixed source of ignition, e.g. a car or a garden shed (some exceptions may apply).
  • Keep the area around the tank free of combustible materials, e.g. leaves, rubbish, wood, etc.
  • The tank area must be well ventilated and not enclosed by walls or solid fences on any more than 2 sides.

These rules apply even after the tank has been installed. Please consult with our team if you intend making changes to the area, e.g. erecting a shed, fence, etc. as these changes could make the installation illegal or unsafe.

Please contact our team for more information.

    Mr K
  • "As a customer I love the all inclusive package of oil and maintenance that you offer. As a second home owner, we never run out of oil like we do ‘at home’ because you keep us ‘topped up’."
