When gas stations have several levels of safety and their blow -ups are unheard of, they still have regulations who prohibits entering them with flames.
Than I think I already wrote 3 times that gas stations are only 1 of several issues here.
Google "RV fires" and you will find lot of incidents where RV was totaled mostly becouse of propane fire.
It is just like seat belts issue. You don't hear every day that somebody got killed by not buckling up, yet you still buckle up.
EDIT. You never know until you check.
Gas stations fires are not as rare as we would like to think about.
We can speculate how many of them were due to open propane, but as I said -overheated brakes on motorhomes have lot of record of burning whole RV simply becouse of live propane lines.
1 of listed fires was started by a bus with overheated brakes.. downtown San Francisco.
Go figure.
