DOT cylinders up through 420 lb can be placed adjacent to a structure
but
a 125 gal or less ASME tank has to be 10 ft from a structure according
to
NFPA 58. Other than the 12 year inspection interval is there any
reason
to use ASME tanks instead of DOT cylinders when space is limited?

I recently had a situation with my insurance company on our cabin. They
said they wanted the firewood removed from under the porch, and the
propane
tank moved.

Voila! Photoshop!

They approved me, and never set foot on site. I know you want to be
safe,
but there is such thing as overkill.

Of course, if you ever have a claim they will deny payment

Why? The porch was cleaned out underneath, and the tank relocated to an
easier place to refill that's 75' from the cabin.
