I think I've had it twice. Both times I was removing the device for
transport and the tank failed to reseal. I was able to stuff the device back
in and remove it again and get a seal. I figure if you can have an easily
observable leak you can have one that goes undetected.
The gasoline tank foolishness I like is the guy who seals up the USCG
required venting for the gas locker and then chain smokes. I the guy I'm
thinking of is still here but the underside of the cockpit floor has rotted
out.

that's weird b/c I've used literally hundreds of small bottles over the
last 30 years and
never, not even once, had one leak.
I've subjected them to untold abuse, left the things unattended in
sheds, on neglected propane
devices (mainly torches) and in tents and toolboxes and not one bit of
trouble.
Guess I'm living on borrowed time.
But I worry about 500 times more about gasoline spilling out of the O/B
when it's stowed below than I do about Prope.
Or about the dipsh*t smoking a cigarette at the fuel dock, which I still
continue to see about once a season!!!!

ps....again, I dont suggest storing the big white tanks below, ever.
