Just wondering if you came up with good wild multi-day treks? I'm thinking the same as you (and am geared up). Did you make this happen?

We have just kept our 400 bht ago change-over gas tanks outside in the shade for over 12 years never known of one blowing up.

Thanks for that, very helpful. Is the tank similar to the image I posted? Just want to make sure we are comparing apples to apples.

Hi All,

We recently bought a western style BBQ (propane) and will be buying a propane tank to connect to it (PTT 7 KG). We will have the BBQ out on the front porch. Placing the BBQ elsewhere is not an option.

My concern is that the porch gets HOT as it receives a ton of direct sunlight. The tank would be covered and in the shade, however even in the shade, the area gets very hot mid-day. Is this safe?

I am not used to Thai propane tanks (I know that in the west they are well made, heat resistant and have a safety escape valve if the pressure builds). Do Thai propane tanks have these safety features? Am I safe leaving it out there? Last thing I need is to blow up our place. 

I see a ton of these tanks being wheeled to local restaurants and would imagine that they *have* to be very safe, otherwise there would be explosions all over the place.

Can anyone advise? Thanks.
