Some folks claim it's not safe in the cab....
Seems to me it's one of the safest places. In the cab it is least likely to be damaged in a wreck.
Obviously if it's leaking you need to fix that, and you'll smell it if it does so no surprises there.
Actually in 48 they were outside the frame and in 49 they moved inside the cab for years and years to come.
