Well I've been searching... and i can't find any laws that say I can't carry a gas cylinder in my car (short of "large" cylinders ... eg: 500kg or more)....
Must be super important these imaginary laws. :wasntme:

Yes Gav, but our peugeot loving friend here was trying to illegally transport 15kg cyl of LPG. But somehow it's the gas companies fault. :confused:
He is also mistaking a certified LPG vehicle installation (which includes a pressure vessel) with an industrial gas cylinder - an LPG forklift cylinder. These are two completely different things.
Hopefully he will cease badmouthing his supplier for looking out for his safety, the law, and his pocket from the potential fines if he was caught, and acknowledge that what he was trying to do was the reason why he was not supplied, NOT because they have it in for him as a person, or dislike the colour of his shirt, or cut of his jib
Where is this law you keep speaking of ... I can't find it... I sure don't like peugeots either :confused: About all they did was completely stuff every Citroen ever made from the day they took over :pQuote:

Just because you don't know anybody that has been killed.....doesn't mean it doesn't happen
Full or over filled gas cylinders (nearly everybody I see decanting/filling gas cylinder does it incorrectly) do vent when there is a temperate increase
I found that ........ I live in victoria though and qld rules have no effect here :) I don't know how 9kg is "safe" and 14 is "dangerous" though. a 9kg bottle of gas blowing up would be an enormous explosion that would take out half the street.Quote:

Yet they are "legal" .... like most laws, there just ridiculous, stupid and not thought out.
It also appears to be just a "suggestion".ll where is the laws/regulations that state any of this.
looks like a suggestion, not a law to me. Must be why it's so "well known",.Quote:

In the boot of a car, it's contained. can barely move, especially if you have it packed in with other stuff. plenty of venting in most old cars due to the rust hole under the spare wheel too :D :wasntme:
Here's the law - Dangerous Goods (Road and Rail Transport) Act 2008:
NSW Legislation

But yeah Shane, you win.
Please, for the sake of us all, carry ALL the LPG you want in your vehicle for as long as you want. Since you know of NO ONE who has ever died due to a LPG explosion in a vehicle, then surely it must be such a insignificant risk that is not worth consider mitigating actions?
If you are such a daredevil that common sense, industry guidelines / regulations and the advice of the professionals selling the product are not to be heeded, then I guess you are a smarter bloke than us all, and we should not even challenge your wishes.
