NJAC 5:18 -
Graphic Labeling Requirement:
Cylinders from 4 to 40 pounds
An amendment was added to NJ LP Gas regulations, NJAC 5:18-1.6(e), in January of 2018 to require a label on cylinders from 4 to 40 pound capacity that graphically depicts the prohibition on bringing a cylinder indoors.
Click here
or see below for the section of NJAC 5:18 regarding the new graphic labeling requirement.
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) began enforcement of this new requirement January 1, 2019.
Please review your cylinder marking labels to add the graphic and continue to include the English and Spanish phrase:
"
Flammable Gas--Never Use or Store Indoors/Gas Inflammable — Nunca Se Use o Guarde Adentro
."
DCA and NJPGA have no authority on what the graphic looks like. However, graphic designs have been developed by the New Jersey Safety and Education Board and Department of Community Affairs. Several designs are
here for your consideration
. The LP Gas Education and Safety Board and DCA have agreed that graphic A1 is the most appropriate.
The following companies, which are members of NJPGA, have confirmed that they are aware of the new labeling requirements and have created a label or labels that can be ordered to meet the new labeling requirements.

From Roush CleanTech
Propane School Buses:
Easy Maintenance, Reduced Costs
Propane autogas, provides the lowest total cost-of-ownership compared with other fuels. Each Blue Bird propane school bus can save up to $3,000 per year in fuel and service costs compared with diesel. Maintenance is simpler and less expensive. Plus, propane buses have no cold-start issues.
Low cost and readily available
On average, propane autogas costs 40 to 50 percent less than diesel. Most fleets lock in an annual per-gallon fuel cost for propane so price and supply remain consistent, allowing for better budgeting. More than 90 percent of the propane autogas supply is produced domestically, with an additional 7 percent from Canada.
Less expensive fueling stations
Propane providers will install on-site fueling infrastructure at low- or no-cost, with a propane fuel contract. Propane autogas fueling infrastructure costs less than any other transportation energy source, including gasoline or diesel. Plus, there are thousands of public propane autogas fueling stations in the United States, with stations in every state
Meet environmental initiatives
Both the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board have certified all ROUSH CleanTech fuel systems used in Blue Bird’s propane buses. The optional propane engine in the Blue Bird Vision Propane is certified to the ultra-low nitrogen oxide (NOx) level of 0.02 grams per brake horsepower-hour, making it 90 percent cleaner than the EPA’s current emissions standard. Buses fueled by propane autogas also emit fewer total hydrocarbon emissions and virtually eliminate particulate matter when compared to diesel buses.
Built by a well-established partnership
Since 2010, more than 14,000 Blue Bird propane school buses equipped with a Ford engine and ROUSH CleanTech fuel system operate across the U.S. and Canada in about 850 school districts. This includes 24 of the top 25 population markets.
