Who is permitted to legally refuel a propane vehicle?

• A. Only those over 18 years of age
• B. Only those holding a Class 1 license
• C. Only those with proper certification or training
• D. Only those wearing protective gloves and clothing

Answer: (C)

Propane fueling is handling a pressurized, flammable gas, so only people with proper certification or training may legally perform it. Training ensures you know how to connect and disconnect equipment safely, bond and ground to prevent static sparks, detect leaks, and use emergency shutoffs and required PPE. Without that training, even with PPE or driving credentials, you might miss crucial safety steps or emergency procedures, increasing the risk of fire or explosion. Wearing gloves or clothing helps, but it doesn’t replace the need for formal training or certification.
