What type of propane container is known for use with gas grills and forklifts?

The correct answer is that DOT cylinders are specifically designed for small-scale storage and transportation of propane, making them ideal for applications such as gas grills and forklifts. These cylinders are regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and are typically mobile, portable, and come in various sizes, which suits the needs of both grill enthusiasts and forklift operators who require flexibility and ease of usage.

DOT cylinders are built to meet specific construction and safety standards that enable them to handle the pressures associated with propane storage while also being lightweight enough for convenient handling. This makes them widely available and commonly used in residential settings for gas grills, as well as in commercial settings for fueling propane-powered forklifts.

In contrast, ASME tanks are larger and stationary, primarily used for bulk storage. FAA cylinders are designed for aviation fuel and not suitable for general propane applications, while composite tanks, although they offer lightweight options, are not typically employed in the gas grill and forklift context to the same extent as DOT cylinders.
