    We use propane and oxygen. I have a 5 gal tank I keep inside. I check
    my fittings each tank change, with a soapy liquid the propane guy
    gave me. My outside winter temps regular go below freezing, my summer
    temps are in the 90's - 100's. I don't want my tank out in those temp
    ranges. 

    After much talking with a propane installer we did the following. We
    bought a new 5 gal tank that has all the latest safety devices on it.
    When I refill it, we have them fill it only to 4 gals so its not full
    to the brim. It is checked, watched, and cared for. I have never had
    any problems. My closest scare came with an acetylene tank....but
    that's another story. I've never seen a jewelry studio with the
    propane outside. All gases go boom. But as someone said, I'm in more
    danger driving to the propane dealer to get it filled.
