As you stated there's always some risk if you have a gas leak. A spark or open flame can make that risk a reality. My advise is to drive it as little as possible & don't leave it parked in one spot for long periods of time unless you're collecting the leaked gas in a container. You have to weigh the risk/reward ratio as it pertains to your personal knowledge of the severity of the leak & your financial situation. Best of luck to you.

I hope this is helpful to you!
