There are safety sheets for propane and butane, published by Calor. Storage outside I think is a good idea - any leaks do not build up but definitely in the shade - max temp 50C. Not a grass roof of course but tin might work if there is enough air flow around to keep temp down. When you say valves - which valves - is it the ones they come with or is it ones that are connected to the pipe? Keep any valve on that came with it but remove any that is with the equipment it powers.

Small fires - dry powder extinguisher only, but can be water sprayed to reduce temp of canister in larger fires.

Regards, Toby Gould

There are safety sheets for propane and butane, published by Calor. Storage outside I think is a good idea - any leaks do not build up but definitely beware of security that the cannisters don't go walkabouts. Definitely in the shade - max temp 50C. Not a grass roof of course but tin might work if there is enough air flow around to keep temp down. When you say valves - which valves - is it the ones they come with or is it ones that are connected to the pipe? Keep any valve on that came with it but remove any that is with the equipment it powers.
