You are legally allowed to carry cylinders up to 9kg inside a vehicle, above that must be in a ute/trailer/truck. I would not leave on full inside a car if there is any risk of getting excessivelly hot. I will carry them in a car but remove them as soon as the destination is reached. If the cylinder exploded it is a significant defect with the cylinder. Usually it is the valve that fails or is knocked on / broken allowing a build up of gas in the vehicle / space and an ignition point igniting causing said explosion. No more dangerous than an automotive lpg tank in a vehicle.
...one difference being that automotive LPG tanks are vented to the exterior of the vehicle.Quote:

One option for Defender 110 owners may be to build a vented box under the rear wheel arch - similar to the cubby box in the back of a County, only a bit bigger. Put the door on the outside of the box and make sure there is no venting to the interior of the car. 130 owners can fit an automitve-size LPG tank under the tray near the cab. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

True, but many 4x4s are blocked with crud.
Personally I am not even keen in carrying diesel inside a car for long periods. Generally I carry all my fuels diesel/petrol/lpg in the trailer if possible.
