Here is an interesting video that puts propane tank protection in some perspective. I think a couple take-aways are: - You don't want any tanks located near your house - If there were a fire you need to protect the tank from the fire. - Probably need to protect it from gun fire as well.

interesting, thanks for posting. Note though, that the 3rd to last explosion was a transformer and I believe the last 2 were rail cars. Interesting take on shooting an LP tank: also check this out, shooting a tank with no fire around it: no explosion, though the tank can become a missile.
When i was cleaning up meth labs we would recover prop tanks that had been converted to hold ammonia. We would vent them from a distance by shooting them with a 223, it will put a hole in them most of the time.
