This wouldn't be a problem if you were in the room while the propane heater was
on.
Generally, a person would easily be able to detect the LEL(lower explosive
limits)
of gasoline in a room and know that working under these conditions would not be
safe with an open heating element. I can't say off the top of my head, what ppm
is LEL, but it is quite high; significant, such that odor would ring a bell in
a person's mind.
Besides, when have you worked on or been around a car, where gas vapors were of
any
significance much less above LEL?
I would not suggest one use this heater while changing their gas tank or
replacing
the sending unit, but I would hope that common sense prevails here.
