Storing propane in cold locations

NoahJohn · #1 10/28/08, 08:05 PM

I know that it needs to be over -300F before Propane will freeze but I just want to make sure that it is okay to keep 1lb propane tanks in my cabin this winter. I live in Ohio and it gets quite cold. It would be much easier to leave the Propane in the cabin versus having to transport to and from. Is this okay to do?

Yep no problems at all with that.

Hi John
The only thing I would suggest is that the bottles be off the ground so they don't collect condensation that would cause rust.
