Section 64-41-9 - Fuel Supply And Storage (Refer to Section 14 of the Mobile Home Regulations)9.1. All handling or storage of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), fuel oil, or other flammable liquids or gases should conform to all applicable regulations; where none exist, the standards of ANSI and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) can be applied. For details, see the ordinance that follows these guidelines.9.2. Central storage and underground distribution of fuel is recommended to decrease the frequency of fuel deliveries, eliminate the unsightliness of individual fuel storage facilities, and provide more free usable space on each lot. All piping in any fuel distribution system should be composed of suitable material, such as steel, wrought iron, threaded copper, or brass; it should be permanently installed and fastened in place. All fuel service lines to mobile home lots should be provided with a shutoff valve upstream from the service outlet. The service outlet should be capped when not in use.9.3. If LPG or fuel oil containers are installed on mobile home lots, they should be securely fastened in place to prevent overturning. No LPG or fuel oil container shall be placed inside or beneath any mobile home, storage cabinet, carport, or any other structure unless such arrangement is approved by the appropriate authority. Containers of fuel oil shall be at least 5 feet from any mobile home exit.9.4. Natural gas risers shall be steel coated pipe. Plastic pipe shall be used for underground service only. Plastic pipe used shall be ASTM 2513, approved for gas operation. In the event the mobile home park operator receives his gas service at a master meter and supplies the park residents from the master meter, the gas supply system within the park must be constructed in accordance with the Public Service Commission "Minimum Safety Standards for Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipelines". When supplying gas from a master meter, the mobile home park operator must file with the local health department a statement from the company supplying gas to his park, certifying that the gas system within the park has been inspected and meets the safety standards mentioned above. This certification must be filed prior to issuance of a permit to operate.
