I have heard of caterpillars hitting propane lines which fed the engine too much fuel, thus blowing the engine. Anybody think this would be a valid worry on our vehicles?

It would have to be a catastrophic and perfect scenario. I'm more worried about the 20 gallons of flammable fuel in the tank than the 12 ounces of flammable refrigerant under the hood.
