Grit dog, Please provide some kind of evidence to support your assertion.
Thank you.
Which part of this do you think may not be true.
Ok,ok.
OG said it was cool in a MH but not a trailer. Why the distinction?
Valve on or off on a propane tank, it has no greater propensity to explode. If gas gets out too fast, like a broken gas line, check valve shuts off the supply.
If a tank gets too hot, it will release gas like a flame thrower (so as to not explode) whether valve is on or off.
If a fire starts from an open flame (pilot light or furnace / fridge burner) how is that related to being in motion vs parked?
Those were my points.
And to address the “turn off propane in tunnels or on ferries” rules, that is so there is not an open flame in a potential confined space that could fill with flammable fumes. You could have tank valve open but no pilot lights But It’s a catch all.
