ANSWERS TO FUEL QUESTIONS 

      All fuel must be stored in an unattached shed or garage.  Except as stated below.  NO fuel is to be stored in your basement. All fuel must be stored in approved containers. This is for obvious reasons of safety to you and your home.

GAS AND WHITE GAS

      Max. gallons to be stored is 25 gallons.  10 gallons may be stored in the garage if there is a fire extinguisher between 10-50 feet away.  Gas in vehicles is exempt.


DIESEL, KEROSENE, AND LAMP OIL
      Same as above--NOT in basements!!! In approved containers!!!  With a Fire extinguisher 10-50 feet away.  The limit is 60 gallons of these fuels.  Portable kerosene appliances are limited to a 2 gallon fuel tank.


PROPANE AND BUTANE

      Permanent tanks can hold up to 2000 gallons, but  you need a permit.  Portable tanks are limited to 25 gallons. If you want to store the flammable/combustible liquids together they must be at least 10 feet apart.  You may store up to 2  1 lb cylinders in your attached garage.  Again, not in the basement, attached garage and in approved containers.

These are just guidelines.  Contact your local fire department for more details and info.
