Ok, I agree that many times the gov goes overboard with regs. Regs concerning propane came about for a reason, just like bilge blowers and spark arrestors. Back in the day of cng, much safer than propane systems of the day, do you remember? Propane systems didn't have a bunch of fail safes that todays marine appliances have. If you can find a marine approved generator for below deck use go for it. However if you can't you should install it in the same type of locker approved for your propane containers.
Remember that use of gas or propane will increase the install cost of electronics for your drive unless you don't want your insurance to cover should you need to file a claim.

Although I won't SHOUT about it, I am curious, do you happen to have any links concerning the dangers of gasoline sloshing around in the bilge, duh.
We were, in fact, discussing the merits of LPG vs. gasoline. I nor anyone else was saying that one need not treat the use and storage of LPG properly.
