ABSTRACT:
A container for enclosing a liquified gas tank protects the tank from rough handling and prevents the corrosion from exposure to the atmosphere. The container comprises a vertical cylindrical shell with bottom cap attached thereto, formed of resilient plastic non-combustible material, the inside diameter of the shell being greater than the outside diameter of the gas tank; removable friction fit lid fitted to the top of the shell, adapted to lift off under internal pressure in the shell, impact absorbing bottom pad on the inside of the bottom cap to support the gas tank; at least one impact absorbing side pad between the shell and the gas tank to support the tank within the shell, with passage for gas to vent down from the top of the gas tank to the bottom cap of the shell, and gas vent in the bottom cap of the shell to vent gas out of the shell.
