Natural Gas From House To Shed: Aboveground?

Per Tony Hwang:
If I am in that situation, I'd have a free standing potable gas tank
placed next to gennie and don't forget to convert it for dual fuel use.
Easier solution than running pipe 50 feet long.
That's where I was going in the first place - until the thought of
above-ground came to mind.
Actually, I thought it might be *less* hazardous because a leak would
just dissipate into the air instead of maybe running along the
trench/side of the building and maybe into the building - which seems to
be the situation behind the few natural gas explosions in our area that
I have read about.
I would not be comfortable moving the gennie closer to the house because
of the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning.... nasty stuff....
So I guess, once I verify the cost, it's back to my original scheme of
storing/using propane in or behind the shed.

You want to do something more dangerous to avoid something with almost no danger. They install practically all those emergency generators right next to the house.
