Supply systems for mobile food units shall comply with the following:

LP-Gas supply systems used for a mobile food unit, including the containers, shall be installed either on the outside of the vehicle or in a recess or cabinet that is vapor tight to the inside of the vehicle but accessible from and vented to the outside, with the vents located near the top and bottom of the enclosure and 1 m (3 ft) horizontally away from any opening into the vehicle.
Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (T)(6)(b)(iii)(320.6.2) of this rule, LP-Gas containers shall be mounted securely on the vehicle or within the enclosing recess or cabinet and secured with non-combustible material or devices, shall be kept in a secure manner at all times, and shall comply with the following:
1. Cylinders shall be located to minimize exposure to excessive temperature rises, physical damage, or tampering.
2. When secured to the rear of the vehicle, propane tanks shall be mounted with a minimum 30" clearance from the bottom of the tank to the ground.
3. LP-Gas containers shall not be installed on the roof of the vehicle.
4. Where LP-Gas containers are mounted within the vehicle housing, the housing shall be secure to the vehicle and any removable portions of the housing shall be secured to the housing while in transit.
5. All LP-Gas container valves, appurtenances, and connections shall be protected to prevent damage from accidental contact with stationary objects, loose objects, stones, mud, or ice thrown, up from the ground or floor, and damage due to overturn or similar vehicular accident.
6. LP-Gas cylinders shall have permanent protection for cylinder valves and connections.
7. Where LP-Gas cylinders are located on the outside of a vehicle, weather protection shall be provided.
8. All materials or devices used to secure LP-Gas containers shall be made of non-combustible material.
LP Gas containers may be removed from the mobile food unit during operation activities. When so removed, propane tanks shall be secured to a stationary object or otherwise securely stabilized to prevent movement, overturn and damage at all times while operation activities are occurring.
