It is safer then gasoline, and has a lot longer shelf life.

I am not Hank Hill, but an underground propane tank should be GTG.

We used the above ground LP versions on the farm for years to heat the barns. They sat outside in good weather and bad, from below zero to 120 degrees, were never maintained, and were filled a couple of times each summer. In the 20 years I lived there, we never had any trouble.
