Safe location for undermount propane

I just got this 10 gallon tank delivered from Amazon.



I'd like to mount it on the curb side under the slider step for stealth and weight distribution, but it's only 3-4 inches from the muffler. Seems like it should be enough space to protect it from heat but then again, kablooie. Think it's a bad idea?

yep you bought the wrong tank, you need a lower quadrant tank! no way to make that tank work unless you can put an elbow on the fill pipe to angle it down, and even then the gas guy will bitch because it will be hard for him to get the hose on there - this is someone elses link i saved because i am thinking about a tank too. http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/lp-gas/rv-propane-horizontal.htm

from years of repairing semi truck/trailer air tanks, and those are lighter tanks, your bolts are too close together and should be spread out more because vibration and potholes will produce a strong pendulum effect that will cause the tank to want swing back and forth if any of the bolts loosen up, eventually destroying the cross brace and maybe causing the tank to drop.
