D. STORING FUEL MOTHER TANKS OR CYLINDERS
The fuel mother tanks or fuel cylinders must be stored in accordance
with D.O.T. and/or OSHA regulations. Simply stated, the regulations that
apply are ones restricting storage of compressed, flammable gases near
stored oxidizing agents such as compressed oxygen. Also applicable are
regulations in regard to protecting the tanks from unauthorized tampering
and/or mechanical damage.
E. SHIPPING FUEL MOTHER TANKS OR CYLINDERS
Fuel mother tanks or fuel cylinders contain compressed, flammable gas
and must be shipped as hazardous cargo according to D.O.T. and/or OSHA
regulations. Fuel gas mixtures are flammable when mixed with air or
oxygen. They must be shipped by motor freight or other freight services
that permit shipment of compressed, flammable gases.
In all cases, special labeling notation and documentation is required.
