Technical details and scientific explanations

Propane gas is stored in tanks that vary in size and shape, depending on the user’s needs. Gas tanks are designed to meet strict technical and safety requirements, ensuring they can be installed and used safely. However, there are various laws and regulations governing the installation of gas tanks.

Permit requirements for placing a gas tank

The permit requirements for installing a gas tank depend on local regulations and the size of the tank. A permit is required for installing tanks with a water capacity of 13,000 liters or more, or for installing more than two tanks on a single property. A permit is also required if liquid is to be extracted from the tank instead of vapor. Please feel free to contact OK GAS to find out if a permit is required for your specific situation.

Make sure the tank is placed at a safe distance from buildings and other flammable materials. Install the gas tank on a stable, level surface.
Follow OK GAS’s recommendations for proper installation and maintenance of the tank.
