    Is it really THAT far out of date? Didn't know cavemen used LPG, lol.

    Depends on whether the tank is still in working order, the tank has a tap on it to turn it off, so long as it doesn't leak past here it should be fine, the guys at work used to remove them at the wreckers i worked at without any dramas.

    Just don't be a dick and smoke around the bloody thing. I've seen the aftermath.

    It would probably be best to vent all the gas from the system and tank before you remove it if there is still any in there.
