While your bulk LPG tank is typically owned and maintained by your supplier, regular checks are an important part of safety, and can help spot potential issues early, ensuring safe operation between professional inspections.

Look out for:

• Corrosion or damage: check for any dents, rust, or cracks on the tank or pipework, which can deteriate over time
• Leaks or unusal smells: a smell of gas near the tank can be a warning sign which needs reporting to your supplier immediately
• Obstructed acess: cut back overhanging trees overgrown plants to make sure delivery and maintenance access is clear at all times.
• Blocked vents or drainage: make sure the surrounding area is well ventilated and kept free of debris or water accululation
• Inspect safety stickers: these should always be visible as they contain important contact information in case of an emergency

A monthly check will help maintain safety and compliance. If you notice anythign unusual, contact your LPG supplier immediately. And never attempt repairs yourself.
