I am looking to run a conduit to an AC compressor disconnect.
The conduit will pass behind a propane tank (less or equal to 250 Gal) and along a propane pipe for like 6 feet.

Are there any limitations or spacing requirements between an electrical conduit and propane tank/pipe?

Thank you

is the area classified? If so there are some limits on what kind of conduit you need to use and some possible sealing requirements.
 
Unless you have regular open transition/ semi open transition like possibly at a dispensing/refilling station you generally don't have any Art 5XX hazardous location here. A quick connect coupling that is only used once in a while when swapping tanks usually won't trigger hazardous location requirements.

Yes, I think the location is not classified
I was wondering if a conduit run next to the propane tank and a propane pipe needs any spacing from them

As long as you don't end up supporting one from the other - not really.

Could possibly have something like a unistrut channel that independently supports both at same time though.
