Section 530-X-2-.16 - LP-Gas Containers/Replacement/Removal/Repair
Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 5, February 29, 2024
(a) LP-gas containers that are leased or loaned to customers by Class A or B-1 permit holders must be removed from lessee's property within 90 days after notification from the lessee or duly authorized legal representative that the container is no longer desired. The Administrator of the Alabama LP-Gas Board may issue an exemption in writing beyond the 90-day limit for extenuating circumstances.
(b) If a Class A or B-1 permit holder disconnects and/or replaces an LP-gas container owned by another Class A or B-1 permit holder, the following conditions apply:
(c) No person shall install, repair, pump product into, or extract product from a LP-gas container without written authorization from the owner of the tank, or at the direction of an emergency response agency such as the fire or police department. A lessee cannot grant such authority. The burden of determining proper ownership of a container is on the entity desiring to install, repair, pump product into, or extract product from a LP-gas container of questionable ownership.
(d) LP-gas containers owned by Class A or B-1 permit holders must be clearly marked with "Property of _______________ Telephone Number _______________" in order for allegations of illegal installation, repair, filling, or extracting of LP-gas product to be investigated by the Alabama Liquefied Petroleum Gas Board.
(e) Any entity that repairs an LP-gas storage container must be qualified and properly permitted by the Alabama Liquefied Petroleum Gas Board.
