Talking propane in bilge

My understanding is that propane is heavier than air and will therefore settle in the bilge. That is why such stringent requirements are specified for boats carrying the stuff (regulators, alarms and most importantly tight containers with overboard drainage for propane lockers). I'm scared of the stuff - we cook with pressurized kerosene on the old Princess two burner (how about THAT for neanderthal, Neil?)
