Operative Text
A. Natural gas system. (1) Natural gas piping systems, when installed in mobile home parks, shall be maintained in conformity with accepted engineering practices. (2) Each mobile home lot provided with piped gas shall have an approved shutoff valve installed upstream of the gas outlet. The outlet shall be equipped with an approved cap to prevent accidental discharge of gas when the outlet is not in use. B. Liquefied petroleum gas systems. Liquefied petroleum gas systems provided for mobile homes, service buildings or other structures, when installed, shall be maintained in conformity with the rules and regulations of the authority having jurisdiction and shall include the following: (1) Systems shall be provided with safety devices to relieve excessive pressures and shall be arranged so that the discharge terminates at a safe location. (2) Systems shall have at least one accessible means for shutting off gas. Such means shall be located outside the mobile home and shall be maintained in effective operating condition. (3) All liquefied petroleum gas piping outside the mobile home shall be well supported and protected against mechanical failure. Undiluted liquefied petroleum gas in liquid form shall not be conveyed through piping equipment and systems in mobile homes. (4) Vessels of more than 12 and less than 60 United States gallons gross capacity may be installed in a concealed manner, although readily accessible for fire emergency on a mobile home lot and shall be secured but not permanently fastened to prevent accidental overturning. (5) No liquefied petroleum gas vessel shall be stored or located inside or beneath any storage cabinet, carport, mobile home or any other structure unless such installations are specifically approved by the authority having jurisdiction. C. Fuel oil supply systems. (1) All fuel oil supply systems provided for mobile homes, service buildings and other structures shall be installed and maintained in conformity with the rules and regulations of the authority having jurisdiction.

(5) Storage tanks located in areas subject to traffic shall be protected against physical damage.
Section 195-25 of Lysander's Code of Ordinances establishes safety standards for three types of fuel systems in mobile home parks: natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and fuel oil. Each system type must include specific protective features such as shutoff valves, pressure-relief devices, and proper physical support or anchoring. The rules are designed to reduce the risk of accidental gas discharge, fire, and mechanical failure in and around mobile homes and related structures.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Lysander must ensure that all fuel systems on the property conform to the requirements of § 195-25 at the time of installation and on an ongoing maintenance basis. For natural gas, this means verifying that each lot's gas outlet has an approved shutoff valve and protective cap. For LPG and fuel oil systems, compliant park operators generally confirm that shutoff valves are accessible and properly located, that vessels and tanks are secured and positioned at required distances from exits, and that all piping is supported and protected against mechanical damage.

Under § 195-25 of Lysander's Code of Ordinances, residents of mobile home parks have a right to fuel systems that meet established safety standards, including accessible shutoff valves, properly secured tanks, and pressure-relief devices on LPG systems. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to violate these requirements—such as missing valve caps, unsecured tanks, or piping in poor condition—they may report the concern to the local code enforcement authority having jurisdiction over the park. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how to document conditions and navigate the complaint process.
