This is very interesting, as usual for the MOC. The hazards seem to be of two kinds: the hazard of LP getting loose and igniting; and the hazard of other flammable gases being ignited by ignition sources/devices in the trailer. On the second point, how flammable is diesel vapour? I'm guessing that it's less flammable than gasoline vapour, but I'd appreciate an educated opinion on this. If it's less flammable, then filling up at the diesel pumps might be less risky than at the gas pumps, provided they are separate.
Also, it would seem safest to refill the propane tanks away from the rig, not while they are still in the compartments.
