Can the gas tank be tilted?

The gas tank cannot be placed horizontally.

The use requirement of liquefied gas tank must be that the bottle body is upright, the bottle mouth is upward, and the pressure reducing valve should also be kept horizontal. If the liquefied gas tank is placed obliquely, there will be a lot of oily impurities in the tank, which will enter the gas stove or other gas appliance through the pipeline and be blocked. Oily impurities are easy to burn, and burning for a long time can easily lead to serious consequences such as fire.

The lower part of liquefied gas in liquefied gas tank is liquid and the upper part is gaseous. Under normal circumstances, liquefied gas is burned through the pressure reducing valve.

If you lie down or stand upside down, all the liquid passes through the pressure reducing valve. After the liquid comes out, its volume expands rapidly by nearly 250 times, which greatly exceeds the load of the cooker, thus leading to two situations: first, the extremely large flame escapes and ignites the nearby combustible materials; The other is that the gas can't burn completely, and it forms an explosive mixture with air, which leads to an explosion.

Extended data:

Matters needing attention in the use of gas tanks:

1. Pay attention to the inspection date mark on the gas cylinder protection cover. Service date exceeds 15, and it is resolutely abandoned.

2, often check whether there is a gas tank, gas stove switch and pipeline leakage phenomenon.

3. The gas cylinder shall not be close to heat source, naked flame, insolation, naked flame baking or hot water heating, and the gas in the gas cylinder shall not be poured into other gas cylinders. It is forbidden to dispose of the residual liquid in the gas cylinder by yourself.

4. When the gas in the gas tank leaks, the residual liquid in the tank cannot be dumped casually to avoid explosion.
