Answer first 先说结论
A Malaysian factory is not “LPG-ready” merely because it has an old bulk tank, cylinder cage, yellow pipe or former tenant approval.
一间马来西亚厂房即使已有旧LPG储罐、钢瓶间、黄色管道或前租户批准，也不能自动称为“LPG-ready”。
The incoming manufacturer must align its actual fuel demand with the exact storage arrangement, approved tank or cylinders, pressure-vessel status, piping route, competent contractor, fire controls, delivery-tanker access, drainage, building layout and current operating permissions.
新制造企业必须把实际燃料需求，与准确的储存方式、获批储罐或钢瓶、压力容器状态、管线路线、合资格承包商、消防措施、槽车通道、排水、建筑布局及现行营运批准逐项匹配。
DOSH’s current pipeline-design page treats LPG bulk storage as storage from tanks or cylinders and describes PTI/PTO routes for LPG bulk storage and fuel-gas piping.
DOSH现行管线设计页面把LPG散装储存说明为通过储罐或钢瓶储存，并列出LPG散装储存及燃料气管线的PTI／PTO申请路径。
Its examples include two or more LPG cylinders at factory premises, liquid-withdrawal cylinder systems and bulk tanks.
示例包括厂房内两个或以上LPG钢瓶、液相输出钢瓶系统及散装储罐。
The Energy Commission separately states that a new gas installation or extension requires Approval to Install (ATI) before work and Approval to Operate (ATO) after completion, supported by completion and test certificates signed by the appropriate competent person.
能源委员会则另外说明，新燃气装置或扩建工程须在施工前取得安装批准（ATI），完成后凭合资格人士签署的完工证书及测试证书申请营运批准（ATO）。
The correct pathway depends on the actual storage, piping, supply and licensing arrangement; one approval should never be assumed to replace every other approval.
正确路径取决于实际储存、管线、供气及牌照安排；不能假设一项批准可以取代所有其他批准。
The deal question is therefore:
所以，交易真正要问的是：
Can this exact property support this exact LPG quantity, storage method, delivery pattern and production process—with matching approvals and evidence?
这项物业能否承载这项具体LPG用量、储存方式、供气频率及生产工艺，而且每项批准和证据都能够对应？
