As for smoke detector - I'd advise against it - heat detectors are good as mentioned.
But I don't know about applicable fire codes that could require it. The local AHJ and fire marshal will have the last word - as usual.

As others mentioned your other issues of fuel storage and piping, etc..., might outweigh this issue.

It also says a fire risk evaluation shall be performed to assess whether a fire detection system is required.
