Propane tanks do not explode very easily. Many safeguards are in place. Care needs to be taken not to damage the valve assembly and always keep open flames away from them.

What will happen if you smoke by a propane tank?
In normal circumstances, nothing will happen. Gas tanks are designed and built to prevent leakage so there should be no propane in the air around the tank. In the event that the tank becomes faulty or the valve is opened to let propane escape into the air, there is a risk of explosion triggered by cigarettes, other flames or a spark.
How long does a 16 oz propane tank last?
About 120psi for a 16 oz propane tank
Should you ground your 23.58 gallon propane tank?
There has never been an explosion from a lightning strike. The lightning passes on the outside of the tank to ground wither the tank is grounded or not. The tanks are heavy steal and as long as propane is not leaking it will not be a problem. If its make you feel better you can ground the tank and bond it to other grounds but either way it will not explode. Your biggest concern is a leaking propane tank. Grounding rods should be 6 foot long and bonded well with #6 solid core copper wire. <B>
If your propane tank was at 40 percent and the propane company filled your tank to 80 percent how many gallons did they put in your tank?

How much explosive force is in a 20 pound propane tank?
A propane tank by itself has no explosive force. Propane will only burn when mixed with oxygen. However you can create what they call a BLEVE from a propane tank (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion). Basically you would heat up the propane tank (example house on fire, etc) and a reaction would occur causeing the tank to burst. There are other ways to do it but it gets really technical. Research BLEVE and you will fand many references about blast effects and fireball radius, frag radius etc. The following link gives you safe separation distances: http://me.queensu.ca/people/birk/research/thermalHazards/bleve/safeDistance.php
