Can Butane Gas Canisters Be Stored Inside a Car?

[LeMalachi]

Butane gas canisters should not be stored inside a car. The canisters contain flammable gas, which is a highly combustible and explosive material, making it unsafe to keep in a vehicle. Storage of butane gas canisters: The storage temperature must not exceed 40 degrees Celsius. They should be kept in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from open flames and heat sources. Direct sunlight must be avoided, and they should be stored separately from oxygen, compressed air, and oxidizing agents. Lighting and ventilation facilities in the storage area should be explosion-proof, with switches located outside the storage room. Precautions: Most butane stoves use a regulating valve that senses pressure inside the valve body and gas canister. The pressure changes cause the explosion-proof rod inside the regulating valve to act accordingly. If the pressure becomes too high without the regulating valve's explosion-proof mechanism, the excessive pressure in the canister and valve could lead to an explosion. When safety devices are present, the explosion-proof rod inside the regulating valve will respond to excessively high pressure by either triggering the canister lever or cutting off the gas inlet/outlet to prevent further pressure buildup and potential hazards.
