Douglass Distributing

In 1947 Humble Oil (later known as Exxon) established a railroad bulk plant in Sherman and Gainesville, Texas. On July 1, 1981 Bill Douglass bought this Exxon consignee in Sherman, Texas, including the local Exxon Transport Division, Exxon Tank Wagon Division, Exxon Lubricants Division, and Tires, Batteries & Accessories (TBA) Division. The resulting company was named Douglass Distributing.

The tank or cylinder is where the propane is stored. It is equipped with a shutoff valve, which turns the gas On or Off. The regulator controls the gas pressure, while the gas piping carries the gas to your appliances. It is important for you to know the location of the main shutoff valve on the tank or cylinder. Remember its location and become familiar with how to shut it off in an emergency situation.
