Is it dangerous to put the gas tank on the balcony with direct sunlight and high temperature of more than 30 degrees?

Generally, no exposure will not cause explosion, but high temperature will easily volatilize the gas in the tank. But it's best not to put it on the balcony. What is stored in the gas storage tank is liquefied petroleum gas, commonly known as liquefied gas. The main components are propane, propylene, butane, butene and so on. It is colorless gas or yellowish brown oily liquid. Liquefied petroleum gas has high calorific value and low toxicity. Odor is added to the finished product.

Gas tank (liquefied petroleum gas cylinder) is a kind of cylinder for storing gas. The cylinder wall thickness is about 2.5 mm, the internal pressure is 0.5 ~ 1.2 MPa, the safe service life is 15 years, and it needs to be checked regularly every four years.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, families in some cities in China began to bid farewell to briquette stoves and use gas tanks. The gas tank was a novelty at that time, and many people were afraid to put it with the stove. Because the price is more expensive, it is usually put in the house, hit the wall and put outside the pipe, and cook outside.

In the middle and late 1980s, a large number of urban residents began to use gas tanks. Changing gas tanks became a unique "landscape" and later developed into a service industry. Pipeline gas gradually enters residents' homes. Compared with gas tanks, pipeline gas is safe, stable, clean and easy to use, which is the product of China's economic and social development.
