Storage  of  Shop  Stocks.    Repair  Parts.    and Consumable Materials.    Storage  of  all  shop  items  shall be    in    accordance    with    the    applicable    maintenance manuals.  Utmost care shall be taken to ensure the safe storage of all items. p. Storage  of  Compressed  Gases.    The  following precautions will be taken when storing compressed gas cylinders. ·    Cylinders    must    be    protected    against excessive rise or fall of temperature. NOTE Cylinders will be stored inside wherever  possible,  and,  if  not,  they may  be  stored  in  the  open  but  must be   protected   from   extreme   weather conditions and also from the ground to  prevent  rusting.  Cylinders  stored in  the  open  must  be  protected  from accumulation of ice and snow in the summer,    cylinders    stored    in    this manner will be protected or screened against     direct     rays     of     the     sun Ventilation  will  be  provided  to  keep temperatures   below   125F   (52.6C) and carry off leakage of inflammable gases. ·    Cylinders  must  never  be  stored  near  highly flammable substances such as oil, gasoline, waste, etc.  A minimum distance of 50 feet will   be   maintained   between   cylinders   and flammable items. ·    Care will be taken to protect cylinders from any object which might cut or damage their surfaces.    Cylinders  will  not  be  stored  at  a place   where   heavy   moving   objects   may strike or fall on them. ·    Cylinders will not be stored in an area which is continually damp.  Neither should they be stored   near   live   electric   wires   or   rails   of electrical equipment. ·    Valve     protection     caps     will     always     be installed if they become frozen, they should be thawed out in a warm room.  Do not use a  steam  hose  to  thaw  them  out  as  fusible safety  plugs  may  melt  and  allow  discharge of the cylinder. ·    Keep   empty   cylinders   separated   from   full cylinders. ·    Do not store cylinders near salt or corrosive chemicals   or   fumes   of   any   kind   as   the cylinders  will  become  rusty  and  the  valve caps will stick. ·    Keep   valves   closed   on   all   cylinders   after usage. ·    Do   not   store   cylinders   near   radiators   or other sources of heat. ·    Cylinders  of  one  kind  of  gas  should  not  be stored  near  cylinders  of  other  kinds  of  gas. A    fire-resistant    partition    should    separate flammable and nonflammable gases unless the cylinders are otherwise widely separated.   Oxygen,   in   particular,   will   be separated from flammable gases or supplies. ·    Storage  rooms  must  be  well  ventilated  to prevent  possible  accumulation  of  explosive or harmful concentration of gas. q. Storage of High-Value Items.  High value items shall be stored in areas that can be secured to prevent theft.    Care  shall  be  taken  to  store  high-value  items  in such a manner as to prevent inadvertent damage. r. Open    Storage    for    Repaired    Equipment    and Consumable Material.  Avoid storing repaired equipment and consumable materials in open storage areas where they can be easily damaged. 2-3.    Temporary  Shop  Installations.    The  following paragraphs describe temporary shop installations, operations and equipment. a.
