just looking for some info. I live in MA
I have a class A motor home with what I believe to be a 40 pound propane tank, I am building a garage attached to my house to store my RV in when I am not using it. I need to get a variance for side yard setback. One of the conditions the fire department is requiring is that I store no more than 2.7 pounds per living unit and no more than
5.4 aggregate pounds of propane in cylinders.
Was wondering if anyone knows a way around this requirement. The tank is built into the chassis so I cannot remove it and store it outside. So my feeling is do they want me to empty the tank before I put it into the garage.?
I will talk to the fire department to see if there is a misunderstanding about the tank.
As I read your post, the code is referring to DOT CYLINDERS. You coach has an ASME TANK. I don't think you have a problem.
