I turn mine off every time, ever since a rodent chewed through the hose and wasted fifteen bucks worth of propane! I hope he froze his face off ...I do leave my propane tank turned on when hooked up to my BBQ and outdoor heaters. But when transporting... the tank would be disconnected and valve tightened. :confused3:
You know that same thing did happen to my propane weed burner hose last winter. Do rodents like the smell of propane?I turn mine off every time, ever since a rodent chewed through the hose and wasted fifteen bucks worth of propane! I hope he froze his face off ...
I think everyone knows that it is illegal to transport propane tanks inside of a car (suv) or any enclosed vehicle but they do it anyway mainly because not everyone has a truck and who wants to wrestle a 30# tank up to the top of their $75K SUV and scratch up the paint. I suppose if all you have is a car or SUV and want to haul propane tanks, buy yourself one of the trailer hitch cargo carriers to transport your gasoline and propane tanks from the store to home. It would work for transporting a BBQ pit also. Much cheaper than risking an explosion.
No sense of smell? You can smell the stuff that they put into propane at levels way way lower than it will ignite at.
Gee honey I smell propane, let me light a cigarette to cover it up.....
