Hi,

I know that those little green propane canisters can never be trusted
not to leak and should never be kept below decks, but what if they were
individually vacuum sealed and then placed in a ziploc freezer bag.

Is there an obvious mistake in this logic?

We do have a propane detector on board.

Thoughts?,

Mike.

Yes. If the pressurized can leaks then it will more than fill the
baggy. I keep mine in a topside locker (isolated from the bilges) with
a low vent that will let any leaks flow out overboard.
