.....A friend suggested to go outside with the cap off and stick a
propane torch in the opening and see if it flashes. If it doesn't, it
most
likely wont explode. Any comments before I muster up enough nerve to tack
this tank.


I, for one, would be interested in understanding why a gasoline vapor
explosion caused by a propane torch is, somehow, of lesser energy - thus
safer - than a gasoline vapor explosion caused by any other source of
ignition......
