I'm having the pan fabricated today. It has 1 inch sides and a drain tube braised in the bottom. The hose will be clamped to that and drain out the bottom of the propane tank cabinet onto the front foot. I cut the carpet off the floor in the cabinet and drilled a 3 inch hole in the floor being careful not to hit a floor joist. When it's installed, I'll duct tape the side of the pan to the wall so if there is a leak that runs down the wall, the water will go into the pan.
Art, A moisture sensor isn't overkill. Lowes has one for $12.95. It works on a 9 volt battery and the leads will sit in the bottom of the pan. It will make enough racket that we'll know if there is a leak.
