Hello Jesse

    You asked about the propane tank limitation on use indoors. It
    really doesn't matter what codes are in force.  You never want to
    store a propane tank inside. 

    The simple fact is that propane seeks the lowest area and pools
    there - it does not rise and dissipate.  If you have a propane
    container inside and have a leak, you are asking for an explosion. 
    We have many rural homes that use propane for heating and tractor
    fuel.  The supplier places the storage tank away from buildings with
    crawl spaces or basements.  At least with a small cylindar, there is
    little gas to accumulate and less chance of an explosion. 

    There are several propane safety websites.  Google a few. 

    Judy in Kansas, where the frigid temps are warming today.  It's
    above freezing and the ice will melt - hooray.
