Having been a volunteer firefighter for many years with specific
training on propane fires, I can tell you we are trained to understand
that a larger sausage shaped propane tank will most likely explode at
the ends and not along the long dimension. Small tanks used for grills,
etc. and 100 lb. vertically standing tanks typically used for cooking
are a different problem.
