| What
to do if your safety relief valve pops off |
|
-
Propane
expands when heated. That increases the pressure in
the tank. Above a certain pressure, the relief valve
opens to release a small amount of vapor. That release
keeps the pressure from building up too much inside
the tank. Once excess pressure has been released,
the relief valve closes automatically.
-
It’s
important to keep your tank painted with a white,
aluminum or other reflective color. A rusty, unpainted
or dark-colored tank may cause pressure build-up resulting
in a safety relief valve discharge.
- Call
your propane marketer whenever your relief valve pops
off, so they can determine the cause.
