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?

Considering the tank pressures possible will answer your question.

The 12 year interval is the reason. Every 12 years you will have to
purchase a new tank. The old tank may be difficult to get rid of. You may
be required to cut it in half to scrap it.

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.

Of course, if you ever have a claim they will deny payment

They will 'lose' the latest photos and deny your claim on the basis of
their earlier records. To be safe, demand a new on site inspection.

your documentation up to date and bullet proof. HTH

According to your post, you used digital manipulation to lie to your
insurance provider. The implicating being, that you didn't make the changes
you said you did.

Claude, I don't think there will ever be a day when an old-fashioned wooden
ladder, when used properly, will come under suspicion. I think nowadays
most people have a problem with the new "high capacity" ladders, which have
their origin as siege weapons designed to kill large numbers of people, and
the modern "semi-automatic" ladders that cause so much pain and misery in
our civilization.

I know you are probably one of those crazy people who cling to their ladders
and bibles, but let's be realistic here, the average person has no need for
a ladder, especially the types I listed above. Most reasonable and logical
people will naturally understand that we need to reduce the number of
ladders in our society, at the very least to help us protect our children.

We live in a modern society, far removed from a time when a man needed a
ladder, and you should just call a licensed contractor, who is a trained
professional, to deal with any situation which requires the use of a ladder.

How many more children need to die mercilessly at the hands of civilian
"handymen" with their ladders of destruction?

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

Try to follow me. If there were a fire, visual inspection would reveal the
tank is a safe distance from the cabin, and there was no combustible storage
under the porch. As of right now, things are safe, and the cabin is secure.
I'm going to "demand" a safety inspector come out and go through everything,
knowing that a good inspector can always discover something?

Yeah, right.
