LP Gas (usually a mix of propane and butane) does not need to be in an
enclosed space to reach explosive concentrations. Since it is heavier
than air, it can settle into a gully, ditch, storm drain, etc. and
wait for an opportunity to react. =8-O
OTOH, it would have to be dead calm - a light breeze would probably be
ebough to dissipate it.
