[TheForge] Carring Propane in a car

[Larry Brown]

I pick up tanks with my 4Runner, its a 2000 and we're still here. I leave 
the windows open enough to vent the car and go from pick up to drop off. I 
wouldn't recommend loading the car with propane and then doing a long 
walmart shopping on a summer day ;-)
