LPG domestic tank earthing.

[fredrico]

Does an LPG tank serving a domestic property need earthing ? I was planning just to put a main earth bond onto pipe where it comes into property. But does the tank itself need earthing to prevent static electricity ?? Cheers.

Earth it as a NG installation and treat it like no other, at the end of the day its introducing an earth potential and so requires bonding. No need to contact the fire brigrade, possess special insurance, ACOPS, earth electrode, etc just to bond it. If there is no meter, then clamp it on the consumer side of the OPSO/UPSO regulator.
