Liquid & Compressed (Propane) Fuel

Anyone using liquid and compressed fuels at the Camporee must read and comply with the Camporee guidelines for storing and handling these materials.

Propane Guidelines

LP Gas Cylinders

  • Liquid Propane (LP)-Gas cylinders of over 100 gallons are not permitted within the camping area.
  • All LP Gas cylinders of any size must be stored in an upright position and secured to prevent tipping and potentially becoming an unguided projectile.
  • All cylinder valve protection caps are to remain on the cylinder valve assemblies unless in use with refilling cylinders at the on-site refilling station.

Gas Containers

  • Fuel must be stored in appropriate containers, such as approved 5-gallon or smaller containers.
  • Fuel containers shall not be overfilled. Most fuel containers are designed to be filled to 80% to allow expansion caused by temperature change.
  • Fuel containers must remain closed except when filling or dispensing fuel. Proper seal must be ensured on all lids, caps, bungs, or valves to prevent spills or leaks. All containers shall be securable to prevent tampering.
  • Fuel must not be stored near any sources of artificially produced heat which could cause the fuel to ignite, and must never be stored inside or under a living area such as a camper or RV.

Fire Extinguishers & Fire Suppression

  • A flammable liquid fire (including petroleum and other products) burns at the surface of the material, as it is vaporized by the fire or ambient heat. Do not use water on a liquid fuel fire. Applying water merely spreads the flaming liquid over a wider area, where it vaporizes more rapidly, intensifying the fire.
  • The best way to put out such a fire is to cut off its air supply or interrupt its chemical chain reaction. The smothering agents commonly used for petroleum fires are carbon dioxide (CO2) and dry chemical powder extinguishers. Both are effective for flammable liquids, but dry chemical is better for outdoor use because it’s not subject to wind, have a longer range and can extinguish pressurized leaks of gas and liquid.

Fire Extinguishers Graphic 768x709Clubs

  • The Fire Marshall requests that every club bring 5lb or larger fire extinguishers that are rated at least: 2A:10B:C for use in camping areas.  Large Clubs will need several extinguishers.
  • In addition, if the club will have a large or group cooking area that uses fryers or grease then the Fire Marshal requests that a class K extinguisher also be used.
  • All Fire Extinguishers must have a current service tag (inspected within the past year).

Food Vendors

The Fire Marshal REQUIRES that every Food Vendor stall be equipped with:

  • Class ABC: 5 LB (minimum) Fire extinguishers which are rated at least A:40B:C.
    • Class ABC Extinguishers must be mounted in conspicuous locations, readily accessible for use, serviced annually, with a current service tag attached.
  • Class K: 1.5 Gallon (minimum) Class K Fire Extinguishers Class K extinguisher
    • Class K Extinguishers must be mounted within 30 feet of commercial cooking equipment, readily accessible for use, serviced annually, with a current service tag attached. (Vendors not selling grease-laden products, including butter and oils, are exempted from this requirement).

Safety Reminders

  • Store fuel away from any running generator.
  • Do not fill the tank on a generator that is running.
  • Never try to start a siphon using your mouth. A mouth full of gas or diesel could be fatal to you. For health reasons, wash hands after fueling.
  • Keep all equipment used for petroleum storage and handling in good condition. Watch for leaks, deterioration, or damage.
  • If fuel is spilled on your clothing, move away from any ignition source, and allow the clothing to dry. Use waterless soap for hands. If fuel should splash in eyes, use clean water to flush.
  • Be aware of static electricity that can build up on you and/or a container. Any spark can ignite gasoline vapors. Always fill containers on the ground, not in vehicles.

Your Questions Answered

  1. How old can a 20# propane tank be to be refilled? How do we tell how old our tank is?
    • The manufacturer stamps on the tank the date the tank was manufactured. The tank must be less than 12 years.
  2. If we have leftover propane we don’t want to take home with us, do you have a dump station?
    • The only way to get rid of leftover gas is to use it up by burning it when using your cook stoves.
  3. If our tank is too old when we come to your co-op to refill it can we buy a new tank and leave our old one with you?
    • We are happy to sell you a new tank, and we will dispose of the old one.
