I understand what you are saying, But, that little flame whether lit or not
and getting "t-boned" directly in the propane tank area forcing a break in
the tank (not likely), a valve breaking, or the copper tubing cracking(most
likely) and causing an explosion are just as equal as blowing up the petrol
tank itself.  I feel that people have some irrational worries here.  There
are cars in major cities that "run" on propane right now, some buses too.
Think about it.
