    As a retired Professional Firie with over 30 years service.two things scared the **** out of me and of which I have the healthiest respect, are gas and electricity.With gas as it's heavier then air it sits low and and , in certain conditions, is exceedingly hard to disperse.Taken in it's upper and lower limits of flammability ( sorry forgot them and cannot quote ) Gas is dangerous in the extreme just a little bit makes a big bang.
    I would not be decanting them under any circumstances having been blown 6 metres in one instance which was caused by just a small amount of LPG. I'd leave it to the experts.

    Trouble is what makes an expert ? Certainly I would doubt the pimply faced kid who had 20 minutes instruction at Bunnings would be an expert.

    LEL = 2% UEL = 10% for LPG

    You are so right..a big bang waiting to happen. So far we have been lucky in Australia .Not so in the UK and the US,where e.g.mobile phones have set off " Several big bangs".
