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.

if you have a claim, even if the fire wasnt caused by the too close
tank or firewood under porch they can disown your claim completely.

might even put you in jail for insurance fraud
