Patio Heater Tank Care & Information

Care and Use of Propane Tanks

If your portable patio heater uses a propane tank for fuel, please remember to follow these quick guidelines. Also see your owner's manual for additional details.

The fuel tank is always under pressure, so use care in handling it at all times. Consult your local seller of propane to show you proper safety precautions, and to inform you of local codes regarding handling and usage.

Below is a quick guide to help you:
- Always store the tank upright
- Keep the tank out of extreme and excessive heat
- Avoid damaging the tank valves; handle with care
- Store outdoors in a cool, dark place with proper air circulation
- Do not subject the tank to abuse

Always follow manufacturer instructions when using, handling, filling and transporting your propane tank.

When finished using the portable patio heater, shut off the gas supply from the tank. Make sure the tank is equipped with a pressure regulator and thoroughly visually inspect all hoses and connections of the patio heater and tank before each use. Never overfill you tank with propane fuel.

Filling Fuel Tanks

When filling fuel tanks, use the utmost care in the storage, transportation, and handling of them. Always have a qualified professional fill them for you. Never over-fill tanks, and make sure all valves are in good working order. Keep the tank(s) out of direct sun or overly hot environments, and always store upright.

Consult your owner's manual of both your patio heater and your fuel tank for additional safety precautions and tips for proper use.
