I agree, that's why i turnoff valve on fuel line from tank to engine
when i drive, i don't want gasoline spilled from ruptured line if
Spiny Norman T-bones me.

Added bonus is increased mileage.

I have wondered about the safety of having propane flowing through the
vehicle while driving, in the event of a serious collision. At least
if the
valve is shut off, the propane is well protected inside a thick tank.
However if the valve is open, someone hits you on the side or the van
rolls,
and the propane line ruptures, you have a serious propane leak and the
potential for spark. Of course it's admittedly not a likely scenario...
