Modern propane tanks are too well designed to be unsafe.

Worse that will happen will be a little fireball and a flamethrower, but no explosions.

Modern propane tanks are too well designed to be unsafe.

People like in the picture are the reason for that

We can thank them for providing quality assurance.

But a flamethrower pointed at another tank, increasing it's temp and pressure...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Just creates another flamethrower.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

It won't release the pressure fast enough. They'll pop eventually.

Heated at a slow rate maybe, since the valve would fail. At speed though, too much too fast.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There’s a safety valve.

Mtyhbusters had to weld up the safeties and shoot them with a shotgun.

When I worked in the arctic circle, we used to put the tank in the fire ring because they would freeze and nothing happened (I don’t recommend this of course.)

Satansmaggotycumfart actually tracks with me for being the type of person who takes a job up in some place like Inuvik Canada. Everyone I've ever known who's done that has been fucking crazy.

I work in propane and some body actually did this ~3 weeks ago with one of our cages

It'll not explode, but it'll burn the cage down along with anything the cage is near should a spark catch, they'll go up in flames FAST

Do you work in propane accessories too?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've said it elsewhere on Lemmy:

I work in propane. I once was proud that I sold the most ez-go (stupid and basically useless accessory) in one month. my name starts with Ha-

I live in CA and prefer charcoal but otherwise I have become the professional persona of Hank Hill. My boss and I tried to get them to put "Hill" on one of my work shirts when I was still in the yard as a joke but Cintas said no

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Hank was a very good man, always there for his friends and family.

These storage units are usually at gas stations though, which are kinda dumb to be smoking anywhere near IMO. But I still see people doing it now and then. Usually gas station employees.
