What should I know about inert gas on tankers?
The normal safety precautions are taken when petroleum gas is vented from a tank, therefore, should not be relaxed. Tankers using the inert gas system should maintain their cargo tanks in a non-flammable condition at all times. It follows that:
What should positive pressure be on inert gas tank?
When all tanks have been inerted, they should be kept common with the inert gas main and the system pressurised with a minimum positive pressure of at least 1 DO mm water gauge.
Can a gas free tank leak into an inert tank?
When other tanks in an Inert condition are either adjacent or Interconnected (e.g. by a pipeline) to the tank being entered, personnel should be alert to the possibility of Inert gas leaking Into the gas free tank through, for example, bulkhead fractures or defective valves.
What happens when the pressure in the gas tank is too high?
High pressure in a car’s gas tank may cause dangerous conditions. High gas tank pressures in a car may cause gas tank bulging, fuel line leaks, fuel pump problems, lack of fuel to the engine for combustion, dangerous conditions when opening the gas tank filler cap and potentially create fire hazards.

Where is the fuel tank located on a car?
Most gas tanks are located on the undersides of the vehicle and are designed to keep the fuel from exiting the tank once it has been poured in.
How to connect propane tank to gas valve?
1 side connected to the gas valve, 1 side to the cross. The Propex requires 1/4″ O.D. per manual! This is to connect the 1/4″ copper tubing the to cross. Note that the Propex HS2000 includes a compression nut to connect the 1/4″ line to it. Working on it.
How does a propane tank work in a van?
This is to split the line coming from the tank into two lines: one going to the regulator (low pressure), one going to the 1 lb bottle adapter (high-pressure). This valve connects directly to the Eccotemp. 1 side connected to the gas valve, 1 side to the cross. The Propex requires 1/4″ O.D. per manual!
