Take a following steps for transportation of propane tank :-
1. Proceed right to your destination- Once you arrive, remove the cylinder from the vehicle right away.

3. Place the cylinder in well- ventilated area of the vehicle.
4. In secure and upright position - Remember, it will not fall, shift or roll when you are driving.
5. Keep the propane tank in vertical position - Be careful while transporting because travel with a tank on its side is dangerous.
6. Hot vehicle - Never keep a filled propane cylinder inside any hot vehicle.
Propane tanks should always be transported in an upright position in a secure and ventilated area. They should be secured to prevent tipping or rolling and kept away from heat sources, sparks, and flames. Before transporting, the tank valve should be closed and the tank should be inspected for any damage or leaks. Additionally, it's important to follow local and federal regulations regarding the transportation of propane tanks, which may include obtaining special permits or using specific vehicles for transport.
It is dangerous to travel with a tank on its side, so it's extremely important to keep the propane tank in a vertical position during transport. ALWAYS place the cylinder in a well-ventilated area of the vehicle. ALWAYS close the cylinder valve. Seal it with a plug if required—even if the cylinder is vacant
