It is there to protect the threads and mating surface for the outlet pipe/regulator when in use by the user. Nothing more. Some people on this thread seem to be limited in knowledge of propane/butane bottles. Flammability of the gas is the greatest danger with these. Explosive flammability. Now consider a real gas bottle which may be pressurised to 200Bar, perhaps more, not the usual 20Bar that a propane bottle might need to cope with....
