What specific safety precautions should be taken when driving your car with a filled barbeque propane tank?

Driving home 20 miles on paved highway with just re-filled tank, no barbeque grill.

Just make sure it doesn't roll all over the place and get too banged up. If you put it in the bed of a truck, cargo area of a van or SUV or in the trunk of a car, you might want to secure it with some bungee cords. If it is in the passenger area, putting the tank on the floor next to the seat should be sufficient.

LP bottles are pretty robust. As long as the valve isn't broken or the bottle isn't punctured, it will be fine.

Just make sure the tank is not able to move around. I drove about 59 mile with two a I'm still here.

The cylinder must be secured upright in a ventilated space. The floor of the vehicle is fine as long as the window is open slightly. The service valve should be capped as well. Needless to say, no smoking during that trip!

Make sure you don't have to go thru any tunnels. Remember that you tank is consider a HAZMAT

Like a bat out of hell. Miss no opportunities to cut off large trucks. You might want to smoke a cigarette while using one hand on the wheel.
