Yup. I put up with it because of the convenience. I don't grill that
much and a tank lasts all season and I always have a spare full tank.


Just curious; where do you store the spare tank- inside, outside, shed?

I wonder if different locales have local regulations about storing them...

I have two tanks outside attached now. Been in triple digits for ~
20 days, high 117°F. Nothing broke or exploded, yet.

I like your optimism (g)


Curious .. how much heat can those gas tanks from mother nature before
they do explode?

I find the critical temperature for propane is 97 degrees centigrade.
That is the temperature where above it only exists as a gas. For water
I found 374 degrees C. Of course this is only under pressure as both
materials boil at much lower temperature.

When I worked in R&D we dissolved polymers in solvents at temperatures
beyond their boiling point under pressure and spun fibers from them.
