Please don't burn them in fires, full ones every so often do
something called a BLEVE. Basicly the pressure in the tank keeps it
from boiling but when it bursts the liquid boils and the vapour
expands rapidly causing a massive explosion. Many fire fighters
have been killed from this as it throws pieces of metal long
distances, more than a half mile even.

And if it doesn't blow, you have to wait a long time for it to cool off
before getting near it again.
