blackdog1101 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Sure it's fine. Who brings their propane tank in off of their barbeque? Mine has never been inside at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy airjer W Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thats where they are supposed to be. Keep it out of direct sunlight and it will be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboni Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thats where they are supposed to be. Keep it out of direct sunlight and it will be fine! Yeah, isn't that kind of a rule, outside only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icehousebob Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Outside is a lot safer. If they start to leak or gas off, you sure don't want it contained in the garage. That could get pictures of your house's remains on the evening news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigging-matt Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I don't think leaving them outside hurts them. If that was the case the local LP dealer wouldn't leave 100's of them outside all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Mine always are kept outside and have been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier, I have always heard that outside is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiNK3R Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Right on thanks. I've never dealt with anything bigger than a 1 pounder. Always used charcoal grills I take it in the summer just cover it up outa direct sunlight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboni Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I actually don't think sunlight even bothers them. I have mine on my grill in the sun, no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
federline Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yah, if I had an explosion for every 20lb tank I see sitting in the sun all summer, I wouldn't have to put up with some of my neighbors anymore. The only thing wrong with letting them sit outside is that its a way for passer-bys to save $25 by stealing yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
