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.

So, even on very hot days those propane tanks are safe, right?

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

What's R&D?


Research and development.


Ahh! Thanks! Lots of acronyms out there. I wasn't sure which one this was.
