Operators of mobile home courts in Lackawanna are generally expected to ensure that all fuel storage arrangements comply with the requirements of § 154-19. This means siting any LP gas container over 125 gallons at least 25 feet from homes, structures, and property lines, in a location protected from vehicle traffic. Fuel oil and other flammable materials should be stored in a way that eliminates fire risk, and periodic review of storage conditions helps maintain ongoing compliance.

Section 154-19 gives mobile home court residents a basis to expect that fuel storage on the property meets specific safety standards, including minimum distance requirements for large LP gas containers and proper containment of flammable materials.
