bloom and boom

Propane in the small tanks placed in vented spaces is dangerous enough. We all see often enough pictures of fires in marinas where propane was involved.
Imagine having hundreds/thousand of pounds of it as main fuel (which would be the logical use of a Bloom Box on a boat: main propulsion). Where do you put it? how do you vent it so there is no accumulation of leaked gas? Any fire on the boat would be a calamity.

Only hydrogen would be more dangerous.
