Propex Heater Exhaust Location

New camper issues. 1987 Autosleeper

Finally have the Propex HS2000 running reliably. It kept registering two flashes (lack of gas) on the contol unit.
Gas valve was dirty and crusty from lack off use. Dismantled and cleaned and then re-assembled use gas tight sealant and HT sealant around the heater box.
Now, the previous owner had both pipes exiting under the camper about 20cm apart, and the exhaust very close to the fuel filter by the tank..
Ive correctly rerouted the intake pointing toward centre of camper with a gradual (no moisture traps) fall. But have little alternative
with routing the exhaust due to an underslung LPG leisure tank. So is this acceptable so close to a cylinder holding 15 litres of gas? Also, it is just below the lower fridge vent.

Please view photo. Exhaust outlet 150mm from gas tank.

Mine's the earlier version, with rotating dial and three way switch. The instructions show air inlet pipe mounted towards vehicle.

I'm concerned the exhaust outlet is in front of propane leisure tank and under lower fridge vent.

It isnt really a issue unless the tank needs to blow off the pressure release , which in reality has only ever happened to me twice , once during filling because the pump was at too high a pressure , and once when the van was parked so the tank was in the sun on a extremely hot day back in 2021 , neither of which times would you have the propex running anyway .
Although i would want to extend the zorst and move it out of sight if it were mine

Thanks to both.
According to the Propex website, If l extend exhaust then the air inlet will need extending to balance intake and outlet. Or is that phoney baloney?
Besides, as l went to mount the exhaust today, it split and came away from heater spigot. So l will now need to take apart heater locker and remove unit yet again to undo jubilee clip and cut away rest of exhaust pipe.

Oh joy! Leaving this for another day; off to a garden safari near Deal.

No, it is not baloney , they are a balanced system, same as the eberspácher, if they are different lengths they howl like a banchie
