WHAT IS FLAMMABLE VAPOR IGNITION?
FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD! • Vapors from flammable products—such as gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, and solvents —can be ignited accidentally by the pilot light of a propane appliance. • Flammable vapors are often heavier than air and may travel along the ground and collect in low or confined areas (such as a basement or pit). Sometimes the vapors may follow air currents in the building to higher levels. Any source of ignition in these areas (such as a pilot light, spark, heater element, or electric motor) could cause an explosion or a fire. TO HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF FLAMMABLE VAPOR IGNITION: • Store flammable liquids in well-sealed containers outside. • Do not use gasoline, cleaning fluids, oil-soaked rags, or other flammable liquids inside a building where propane appliances are located. PROPANE VAPORS CAN BE DANGEROUS. Propane vapor is also combustible and can ignite explosively. Keep propane storage containers closed. Never store propane cylinders in an enclo
