Not a great idea...
In Response To: What we did.... ()

to put an electric motor in the same locker as propane tanks. Especially in hot climates. I have had the overpressure relief valve open in the Caribbean. Even if you only operate the pump with the lid open propane is heavier than air and can pool in the locker. One spark from the motor brushes and BOOM.
