Intent
Intent 1: 
To supersede the requirements of Sentence 2.12.1.7.(1) and permit the display of propane fuelled automotive vehicles if certain measures are taken.
This is to limit the probability that:
  • the fuel tank or associated gas supply line will not operate as originally intended, which could lead to the unwanted release and subsequent ignition of the propane gas, which could lead to a fire or explosion,
  • the fuel tank will be overfilled, which could lead to the unwanted release of propane gas, which could lead to the gas being ignited by a nearby ignition source, which could lead to a fire or explosion,
  • tampering with the fuel tank filling connections will occur, which could lead to the unwanted release and subsequent ignition of the propane gas, which could lead to a fire or explosion, and
  • connected batteries will be a source of ignition, which could lead to the ignition of the flammable liquids, combustible liquids or Class 2.1 flammable gases, which could lead to a fire or explosion.
This is to limit the probability of:
  • harm to persons, and
  • impairment of means of egress, which could lead to delays in evacuation or movement to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
