It's a 2-car garage, and you only have one vehicle in it right?
Even if you have 2, it doesn't matter too much.
But, it's not the liquid gas i would consider the danger, it's the fumes
that can build up in an enclosed area. Big boom!!!!
So, when you go into your garage, and with a setup like that, you BETTER be
in there at least once a day, lucky bastard.. grumble... grumble....
Anyway, so you go into your garage once a day, go in through one of the big
doors. This way you will exchange the air that is contained within the
garage (possibly filled with fumes) to that clean outdoor air.
Now you are safe.
And if you're going to bed for the night, MAKE ABSOLUTELY sure that the fire
is out, even the embers shouldn't be glowing.
I don't want to read how your garage got burned down....
