This directive sets out the requirements that must be met for the continued operation of propane storage tanks that were manufactured with a maximum allowable operating pressure (MAWP) of 200 psig (1380 kPa).
Most travel trailers and campers use liquid propane (LP) tanks to store the compressed gas. This gas is used for heaters, stoves and hot water tanks. Propane tanks have ratings. The pressure rating is known as a hydrostatic rating. When talking of the pressure rating, the actual item to look for is the gallon rating and size. The pressure in the tank changes as the fuel is used. Maximum-gallon ratings keep tanks safe from overfilling at certified propane dealers. Look at the Tank Manufacturers Nameplate to get the pressure ratings, gallon sizes and safety information. No tank may be filled legally without this nameplate.
Read the nameplate and look for the Maximum PSI rating. here
Turn the tank over until you spot the Tank Manufacturers Nameplate. This plate is required by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and holds valuable safety information and ratings for the tank.
