If the porch does not have a staircase from ground level, the use/storage of propane tanks on patios or balconies on 2nd floor or higher is usually banned. The reason is usually having a house fire, not leakage of the tank. If there is a house fire, having the tank on the 2nd level will increase the amount of devastation a tank explosion would cause - think of a bomb dropping - an air burst causes much more damage than a ground burst does.
