full one make sure this procedure is carried out in a well 

ventilated location, preferably outside, away from people 

and away from any sources of ignition; such as naked 

flames, pilot flames, electric heaters/equipment.

Gas Cylinder Use & Safety

area out of reach of children, and must not be stored in a 

building, garage or any other enclosed area.
