WAC 296-863-20035   Make sure liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fueled PITs meet these requirements.  

     You must:

     • Use fuel containers that meet either of the following minimum requirements:

     OR

     – A container Type 250 that has a design pressure of 312.5 psig.

     • Make sure fuel containers do not use variable liquid-level gages that require venting fuel to the atmosphere.

     • Make sure the fuel system of PITs used inside buildings:

     – Has an approved automatic shutoff valve, located ahead of the inlet of the gas-air mixer, that will stop the flow of fuel to the mixer if the engine stops;

     AND

     – Use not more than two LP-gas fuel containers.

     • Make sure the fuel system of PITs used outdoors has an approved automatic shutoff valve, located ahead of the inlet of the gas-air mixer, that will stop the flow of fuel to the mixer if both:

     – The ignition is OFF.

     – The engine is not running.

Note: You may use an atmospheric type regulator (zero governor) as a shutoff valve if the PIT is used outdoors.
