It's fine, she doesn't believe in propane so it can't hurt her.
It’s funny how as soon as something is either invisible or disconnected by time from something else, it suddenly is a matter of belief for some people.
I’m glad we don’t hear debates about whether it is possible for an internal combustion engine to power a motor vehicle at highway speeds.
I really getting with "oh, you believe gasoline can power cars?!?" next time I meed a true believer.
You think Hoover dam was built by humans?? No-one can build anything that big. The architects were helped by aliens.
Structure of that size placed so precisely that it happens to form an artificial lake and produce electricity?
Besides Hoover dam is a single structure. No seams or parts. What factory can produce a mold that big let alone move it across from factory to the river. There are no trucks that big.

Funny, tragic, same difference really. Tragedy + time and all that...
Unlike with gasoline, the ember of a cigarette is hot enough to ignite propane. However it's denser than air and would need to have a pressure valve actively leaking to create enough concentration to be dangerous
so I actually had a friend years back who worked at a junkyard.
I was hanging out there with him one time (definitely probably not smoking anything...) and he was still clearing things out.
so he grabs a propane tank and brings it up to where he has an oxyacetylin torch, lights the torch and starts cutting into the tank.
I about shit my pants and took off at least 50 ft back behind a car asking if he was trying to die today.
apparently I was the one that didn't know what I was talking about though because of a second later he cut through and it just popped a little flame.
he just let that flame burn until it was out and that's how he knew the tank was empty.
apparently these things are very hard to blow up.
They don't blow up, but they will create a bigass torch that will spin them around some. You're not getting blown into pieces, but you're going to be going into the er with some bbq'd body parts.
maybe if it was more full?
the tank didn't even move when I saw it, just a little flame about 4 inches long for a couple mins.
was super anticlimactic
4 inches long for a couple mins. was super anticlimactic
I've experienced something like that before ♀️ 😭
Also, if you handle them a lot, it's easy to tell how full they are by weight alone.
That sounds like it had almost nothing left in the tank. A full one will burn for a good bit.
Thanks, Hank
Coal is not allowed in this household!
Yeah nah, that's not the way. Sure people can get away with it, but it's really not eliminating the hazards.
There's a bunch of non-obvious hazards which exist around cutting into containers which have held fuels, including but not limited to:
Methods to reduce the hazard include:
Because the tank was almost empty. Who knows what happens if it's full, or overpressured, or corroded or something. Hiding behind a solid object would be my move as well.
Pressurised gas is a different story, and liquid pressurised gas is even worse still.
Basically a bomb if they are in a fire.
yeah this will work but you basically have to create a fire around the tank while keeping it pressurized right? you have to bring the whole tank to the point where it overwhelms the relief valve.
Yup. I've seen news footage of fuel depot fires where they had them stored, and you can hear them popping off like firecrackers.
She’s on smoko, leave her alone.
Have these even ever exploded because of a smoke break?
A leak could certainly create a fire. An explosion isn’t impossible.
could.
But has it?
Feel free to provide any instances of it happening.

She's already occupying more space than most people. Soon she'll occupy as much space as some people from the middle east have over the years. Can she occupy more space than a re-entry sort of volume expansion event? The world may one day know.
Propane isn't gasoline. Op is an idiot.
What does this have to do with gasoline?
No u
