[QUOTE="altfuel1991, post: 304895, member: 1211"] Propane is THE safest motor fuel available. It is not a problem having the valves facing forward. Hollywood has demonized propane as being so dangerous but the opposite is true. You can take a full propane tank and shoot a hole through it with something strong enough to penetrate the tank and it will not explode. When the bullet penetrates the tank the fuel will spew out in a cloud. That cloud will not ignite, it is way too rich to burn. Propane has a very narrow range of flammability. A police department in Mississippi did a test on a propane tank in the back of a Crown Vic before they started running their vehicles on propane. They took an older car, put a tank in the trunk and then pulled everything out of their arsenal. Pistol rounds and up to .223 rounds would bounce off. It took a 30.06 armor piercing round to finally penetrate the tank. As far as tank placement you want the fuel tube inside the tank pointing as far down as possible so it stays submerged in fuel.
