How Do You Hand Off a Proposed Propane Tank Location?
How Do You Hand Off a Proposed Propane Tank Location?
Write the handoff so an installer who missed the sales visit can find the spot and see what is still open. Tank Spotter lists an LP Container Set form. Use the demo to check how your location notes would reach the installer.

Give the installer a clear starting point
Here is a suggested handoff. Name the customer and service address. Describe the proposed spot. Add notes for the visit. Mark open questions plainly. A customer's wish stays a proposal until your installation reviewer accepts it.
Try this test. Could an installer who missed the sales visit find the area and tell which decisions are still open? If not, fix the handoff before you book the crew.
Compare the tools with that handoff
The document list includes a New Account Data Sheet and a Trenching Release. These are named forms. They do not mean every field on your site survey is already set up.
Tank Spotter can also turn site surveys into work orders. Ask to follow one sample survey into an assigned job. Keep the proposed spot and the open questions in view the whole way.
Keep the placement decision with your people
Your qualified installation reviewer decides which placement rules apply and approves the real site. This page covers the information handoff only. It gives no clearance distances and no siting steps.
Questions and answers
What if the customer changes the spot?
Record the new request and send it back through the same review. Label the old proposal so the crew can tell it from the current plan.
What should we bring to the demo?
Bring one anonymized site sketch and the form your salesperson uses now. Ask where the installer finds both. Then ask how an open question goes back to the office.
