Gasoline is way more dangerous and that ignition point is about 500. Are you worried about leaving you far in the garage? Of course not, stop worrying about nothing.

It’s not the temperature that causes the problem .
The issue of storing the tank in the garage is the possibility of the tank developing a leak and filling the garage with the propane gas . Any spark source can set it off . Something as simple as a light switch….
Give your homeowner’s insurance agent a call and ask him if you would be covered if you had an incident caused by a propane tank stored in your enclosed garage.
Talk to any professional who deals with hazardous materials.
So no, it’s not “worrying about nothing” …. It’s called using common sense .
You’ll hear the comments , “I do it all the time and have had no problems “
It’s never a problem until there is a problem.
Not trying to convince you about anything and we all know that you’ll do whatever you want !
