As you might imagine, we know a thing or two about propane tanks. If you’ve never had a gas grill, you might not know what to do with your propane tank. That’s okay, because knowledge is power. Here are a few things you should keep in mind.
- Always check for leaks before you use your propane tank for the first time. If you’re unsure of how to do this, finding a video explaining the process is a good way to see what you need to look for and it’s as simple as putting some soapy water on your propane tank.
- Don’t store your propane tank in a garage. It might be tempting to keep your propane tank in the garage where you have the room, but this isn’t a good idea. Instead, always store your propane tank outside in a well ventilated area.
