Hmm. I did a little research on
propane tank explosions and found that they don't explode. I guess the problems arise when there are gas leaks and sparks. It seems odd that houses are blowing up a few times a year from LP gas leaks and yet, most of the new house construction we have been looking at have LP gas.
Yet, I can appreciate your concern for safety and the comfort your Harley gives you, since you will never drown if you find yourself stopped on a collapsing bridge over water
