What is the minimum distance required between containers with a capacity of 501 to 2,000 gallons?

The minimum distance required between containers with a capacity of 501 to 2,000 gallons is three feet. This regulation is defined to ensure safety during the storage and handling of propane. Maintaining this distance helps to minimize the risk of fire and explosion in the event of a leak or other accidents.

This spacing also allows for proper ventilation and access for emergency services if needed. Within this range of storage capacity, it is critical to follow regulations to prevent situations where one container could adversely affect another in case of a malfunction or emergency. Keeping the specified distance is a key aspect of safely managing propane storage facilities.
