Too many possible failure modes. Easiest just to move the propane.

Technically, wouldn't such a setup be safe as long as the
Propane is sealed and is not mixing with an oxidizer such as
air? And wouldn't the metallic propane bottle act as a Faraday
cage and conduct the high voltage safely away from the propane
within?
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>The only possible failure point would be where the high
voltage arc would end up melting a hole into the propane
bottle, releasing propane gas to atmosphere and resulting in a
combustible mixture that would be lit up by the arc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One could endeavor to try it by chaining down a propane
bottle and remotely discharging the tesla gun into it to see
if that can happen.</div>

<div>All joking aside it was there specifically to
pour on the device that had been planned to set on
fire. It was a safe distance from the arcs and
posed no safety threat with the lid on. <br>
