Hi Silverspot and others,

    I'm the guy with the 25 Lb propane tank you quoted. 

    What you need to do is check the rules in your own locality. There
    may be a Gas Inspector or a Public Safety Officer or a Fire Marshall
    or Building Inspector or ?? Every place has its own style of
    bureaucracy. The tank size limit I quoted was for my area, Victoria,
    BC, Canada. There may be rules at state or county levels which are
    over-ridden by local municipal governments. 

    I'm not trying to make this sound more complicated than it is. You
    just have to find out who the relevant authority is in your area.  
    You can look up in the yellow pages whoever does gas furnace
    installations and similar work. They will have a licenced gas fitter
    who will know about local regulations. I would not take technical
    advice from my insurance company as a first choice, but once having
    obtained the tech advice I would ask my insurance company if it
    satisfies their requirements - (get that in writing, by the way),
    and ask them what documentation you need to show them that your
    installation is as represented to them.(Permits, inspection
    certificate etc) 

    Ask about the oxy tank as well. Some of the posters on Ganoksin have
    remarked that there are  restrictions on Oxy tanks indoors in their
    areas.
