RE: 100% propane
That's not to say that there haven't been some monumentous explosions (BLEVEs), but provided you don't have leaks and ignition sources, and have all the safety controls and procedures in place, then sure it is safe to store and distribute propane.

RE: 100% propane
A major propane or other LPG disaster occurred in Mexico City. Search the web for details.
If a propane truck leaked propane from a damaged valve and caught fire the fire would be a jet burning away from the truck until approximately empty. However a major rupture of a vessel like a propane truck could release the liquid that rapidly boils into a vapor cloud. A major explosion could occur once the cloud meets an ignition source while blended with air. Such releases could be very bad things.
In my opinion, propane is far safer than gasoline. Gasoline is among the most hazardous materials that most of use use on a regular basis. Still I see people smoking while fueling their vehicles. Hazardous materials and stupid people could be very very bad things.

Specifically, what is your question....?

You are right, to explain better our concern is for home use with 25 pound tanks

Around here, the 7-11's and other stores have outside storage racks of propane bottles for propane exchanges, so it's obviously done. But those racks are outsiden, not inside, and there may be a reason for that.
