Cylinders must be stored upright outdoors, away from doorways, basement openings, and ignition sources. Storage inside attached garages is restricted, and DOT cylinders larger than 100 lbs water capacity must be installed by a licensed dealer with required separation from buildings and property lines. Refilling and exchange must occur at licensed facilities under Florida Department of Agriculture oversight.
