I witnessed 300 gallons tank blow -up. Due to lot of energy propane needs to evaporate- the burn-out was self-controlled and lasted over 1 hr.
Watch this CSB video and you might want to retract your asinine statement.

If you listen to the comment, the blow up was technically due to pressure, not fuel ignition.
Fuel fire was the contributor, but the tank simply did not hold the pressure. Evidently it lacked the safety lid I have seen on other fire.
