    I HAVE A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE PROPANE LINE SO CLOSE TO THE REAR WHEEL. IF MY TIRE HAS A BLOW OUT THIS WILL DESTROY THE LINE. AND THIS COULD BE A VERY BAD SCENARIO. IMPACT FROM THE TIRE CAN CRACK THE LP MANIFOLD, AND BREAK FREE THE LP LINES AND FITTINGS. DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE TIRE MAY NOT BE READILY NOTICEABLE AND COULD CAUSE IGNITION OF LP GAS THAT COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN LP SYSTEM IS TESTED, FILLED AND/OR USED.
