Not me! I gots me ell pee, not enn gee. 28 gallons o' the stuph.

LP tanks are great. About 3/16" thick and more passive safety than
you'd think. Snap the outlet valve off flush with a huge hammer, and
the excess-flow wedge would plug the flow.

I soapy-water check mine more or less annually, and inspect every 
inch
of the hose that runs along the 'frame rails' under the car. Though I
haven't checked this year, hmm....
