[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 239492, member: 1414"] Rush, agree with Wolfy's comment, in the event of a fire you would be able to shut off the valve in safety if located outside. A common leak with gas bottles is the "O" ring on the gas fitting. They perish and crack, and should be renewed regularly. At least carry spares. A prospector had his ute and all camping gear burnt, the only thing he saved was his detector. He had a 3way fridge running on gas on the back of his ute while camped up prospecting. The weather turned foul so he thought he would go for a drive and look for some new ground. He left the fridge running on gas. Driving along a two wheel track looking both sides for ground he didn't see a deep wash out in the track. When he hit the rut the gas fitting sheared and the resulting fire and explosion destroyed everything.
