The following storage methods should be considered...
Open Perimeter Isolation:
• Maintain at least 50 feet (15.2 meters) of clearance from
combustibles and structures, as per NFPA recommendations.
• Ensure the vehicle is in an open area with no obstruction to ventilation.
Barrier Isolation:
• Use barriers made of steel, concrete, or solid masonry to isolate the vehicle. • Avoid fully enclosing the vehicle to prevent trapping explosive gases.
• Barriers should enclose three sides, with an open side maintaining the same
50-foot clearance.
Ventilation and Weather Protection:
• Keep vehicle windows or doors open slightly to ventilate
and prevent gas buildup.
• Protect vehicles from rain or extreme weather using tarps
while ensuring proper ventilation under the covering.
