Thanks for the information but I have to question the proposed solution.

Let's see, tire contacts propane line. So, install a metal plate to protect the propane line from the tire. So won't the tire now contact the metal plate? I don't think I want anything in position to contact the tire. How about Keystone reroute that propane line instead?
