Can underground roots effect the placement and ability of a propane tank to work right?

Answer by  McCheese (1248)

Underground roots can be dangerous because they can block the line connecting the propane tank to the stove. You need to cut back any roots that are in the way.

I think a propane tank is made up of good quality metal and in my opinion and observation the roots can't penetrate into them. I think roots have grown so much so that they can now make their way to propane tank. As big roots can easily push the pipes and pinch it of.

Ii guise a propane tank is made up of good metal and in my advice and observation the roots can not penetrate in it. I guise roots have grown so much so that they can now make their way to propane tank. As good roots must slightly push the pipes and pinch it off.

Not likely. The tubing or pipe that runs from your tank to your house is metal and it is unlikely that tree roots have penetrated them. It is a remote possibility that the roots have grown enough over time to crimp or close off the tubing or pipe underground.

It is very possible that they could affect the ability of your tank to work correctly. Big roots can easily push on the pipe and pinch it off making it harder for the propane to get through.
