  What happened that you had to pull up the left side of the trunk liner to leave that atrocious fit/finish?

  A bag of charcoal would be safer and make the food taste better. Just saying...

  As a trained propane service tech I can tell you even if you can't get anymore propane out of a tank to light your grill there are still enough vapors to dangerously pressurize your tanks.
  
  So in the end NEVER transport a propane tank on its side even if it is "empty".

  These can stay upright in the backseat floors, right? Cavemen have been doing this for millenia...

  I don't know anything about propane. Why is laying it on its side a problem?

  As I scrolled down the page I initially caught only a glimpse of the picture and my immediate thought was, "Tanks in the trunk? HOT DANG they're starting real mods on that FR-S!!" But then I saw it was just propane for tanks for the barbecue grill. Bummer.

  Isn't it true that empty containers of flammable materials are more dangerous than full containers?

  @stovt001 The reason why you never lay propane tanks down is because the pressure relief valve is on top and it is designed to only work when upright. Thus when a tank is on it side instead of releasing the minute amount of propane vapor pressure it build
