When should an LP gas cylinder be visually inspected?

A visual inspection of an LP gas cylinder is crucial for safety and maintenance to ensure that the cylinder is in good condition before fueling or using it. Regular inspections help identify any physical damage, signs of corrosion, or leaks that could lead to dangerous situations. By conducting these inspections before each use and during regular maintenance, users can prevent potential hazards associated with the improper functioning of the cylinder.

Regular visual inspections serve as a proactive measure, allowing users to catch issues early rather than waiting for a problem to become apparent or for more serious safety risks to arise. This practice promotes safety and compliance with regulations governing the transportation and storage of LP gas cylinders.
