It happens all the time unfortunately but propane is still more
dangerous than gasoline for a couple of reasons:

1. It is invisible so leaks are not obvious.

2. The fittings on propane tanks get frequently uncoupled and
recoupled as tanks are swapped out. This is not true for permanently
installed gasoline tanks. Portable gasoline tanks should always be on
deck in open air.
