Where should new propane cylinders that have never contained propane be permitted to be transported?

Transporting new propane cylinders that have never contained propane should be done in a manner that prioritizes safety and accessibility. Placing them inside the vehicle ensures that they are secured and protected from potential hazards on the road. It also minimizes the risk of exposure to environmental factors, such as extreme temperatures or impacts that could occur when transporting them in less secure locations.

Keeping the cylinders inside the vehicle allows for better supervision during transport. If an emergency occurs, having the cylinders within reach can facilitate quicker response times. Additionally, most regulations regarding the transportation of propane cylinders emphasize securing them in a way that prevents movement and minimizes the risk of leaks or accidents.

When considering the other transportation methods, options such as placing the cylinders on the roof or in an external compartment can pose risks related to stability and security. Transporting in the cargo area of a trailer, while it may also seem viable, does not provide the same level of immediate access or oversight as keeping the cylinders within the vehicle.
