How vulnerable are those 500 gal home propane tanks to lightening?
Are any particular grounding or other precautions useful?
thanks
I would follow local codes and you should be safe.
The tanks are metal and totally enclosed. There is not oxygen in the
tank so unless the tank ruptures it is safe. The electricity will run
around the tank, the same way it does if your car gets hit by lightning.
Sort of like a Faraday cage.
