I've heard that running your Fridg on gas while traveling is dangerous. They say it can start fires. So...What do you do?

On a related note, at least in Georgia..

Make sure you have the appropriate fire extinguisher.
I had to research what 20-BC meant...

Also, while I can't find the exact code, but there is a limit of the number of cylinders a single vehicle can transport. I have found reference to this in several places, but not found the exact number. I had a conversation with a friend who went with some buddies to local store to fill up their cylinders before a 2 week trip last fall and the rep told them they had too many cylinders by law in a single vehicle.
