A tank outside will not allow a gas build up, there for less explosion hazard because of dilution of LP gas in surrounding air... IF you have a fire and tank gets over heated it will cause pressure relief valve to blow off (somewhere around 260 psi). IF this occurs tank will vent LP gas and will cause a obnoxiously large flame if it ignites but it is a "controlled" release and not a "explosive" release... The "explosive" release is what causes the damage. Also as mentioned before if tank is out side and during a fire it can be identified and kept cool by fire fighters spraying water on it the hazard is reduced compared to tank hidden in clutter of studio... Fire fighters are trained to look for external hazards, so help them out...
