Surprised at the comment from the lads in red trucks.
About 30 years ago some idiot in a rural carpark emptied a propane cylinder. A few minutes later a women with her dog drove into the carpark, and her car and bushes at the edge of the carpark were engulfed in flames. She was reversing towards the bushes when this happened. Fortunately both her and the dog got out ok, but her car was burnt to a cinder.
You learn to respect propane cylinders when in the fire service.
The cylinders themselves take some abuse, I have seen them red hot but not giving way, but full cylinders take less abuse. A good friend of mine got badly burnt with terrible facial injuries due to a propane cylinder going off. I attended an incident in Glasgow were a large cylinder in a garage destroyed the garage, and the cylinder was found two hundred yards away split wide open. The valve was found days later half a mile away. This cylinder is now on exhibition inside Cowcaddens fire station in Glasgow. So the moral is don’t F—k about with propane.
