I am sure you are talking about whether or not the propane will still work. Propane, like any other long hydrocarbon is fairly unstable and will not be useful forever in your lantern, much the same way that gasoline becomes unusable if it sits in a car for too long. I am not sure how long you can keep the propane in a lantern.

I'm thinking that the shelf life of your cans of propane take second place to safety issues. Otherwise I'd be inclined to think that the propane would just slowly "evaporate" at such a rate that it would not be a safety issue and probably without any clogging residues. (I've had a Coleman stove with LIQUID fuel (NOT PROPANE) stored over several years, and it still performs admirably; tho I think the combustion odors may be something different than if the fuel were fresh.)

BUT on the SAFETY ISSUE. Be aware that propane is denser than air, so any leakage tends to seep (invisibly) to the lowest point available (basement maybe?), so you're generally advised to keep propane outdoors where any leakage will be quickly dispersed and diluted by the air.

How long should you keep what for what? Whatever it is, it lasts a lot longer than that dictionary you're using.

Are temper tantrums related to camping lantrums? I have no idea.

I tried, but you ought to consider asking this question on a forum that speaks whatever language you are familiar with. I don't mean to sound mean, but your English is sub-par. If your hope is to hoard propane in the hopes that it becoms a collectable like 70's vintage hemi-cuda's, don't hold your breath.

Sad, very sad.

A recent survey of American prisons reveals that not a single propane tank was convicted of violent crime in 2006.

They do not go bad.
