Hi all. Am not sure what the go is on storing gas bottles. Not sure if there's a Law throughout the land about carrying it/them inside the cabin or outside. I've heard they should be outside because of leakages. But wouldn't it be obvious with the smell that you would fix the problem before it overcame the occupants ?
I've then heard it's o/k for them inside if they are near interior vents. That's got me wondering because as far as I can see the vents in the back of the carjust empty into the cavity between the exterion metal and the interior lining ?
Then I've heard that late model cars with all the "electronics" can set off a leaking cylinder to produce an explosion ?
I had planned on storing it in a drawer in the back section with other cooking gear. The Pajero has the ruddy spare in the middle of the back door preventing a hoder from being there. My roof rack/shelf is totalled already.
I guess I can put some roof rack stuff in the drawers and the gas on top, but it means configuring it all which is a bit of a pain. But I don't want to blow us up either ? Comments please. Thanks Greg
