Walk away? You may not need to, there's a good chance of being blown clear if something ignites. Ever heard of a fuel air bomb?

Never inside a building, carport, or around any crevice where the flammable gas will pool - thats when you provoke the loud wall-removing boom.

It the right night for a demonstration steve

Saves going to SOG or the warehouse for fireworks

A helmet is a good idea(for spectators), I hate to get a flying carby in the head.

I wonder how many views it will get on youtube

Not for use on a calm day or anywhere near a building, or anywhere near anything for that matter. Works also with a paint spraygun, but you need a regulator.

My fathers thoughts on this were "that'd be a pretty fuckin' stupid idea wouldn't it"

Yeah thats when you get an approximately correct mixture of fuel and air and tightly contain it, and then ignite it. Try that outdoors on a windy day, and its completely infeasible. LPG is pretty safe uncontained.

On a calm day we emptied a whole LPG bottle into the back yard once. We were a little worried for about 15 mins afterwards, because it sank into every little corner on the ground and just lay there.. so we fucked off down the road and put our fingers in our ears and hoped for the best.

Nothing happened, but it could of.

Same thing with a flat tyre once, but with 350KPa of approx 50/50 fuel/air in the tyre, after a (very short) while I was unable to reconcile it (images of detonating tyres etc) so I repeatedly flushed it with air until it smelled clean. Fark that would have gone off like a grenade.

Once I sold a car that needed the aircon servicing, and the bloke complained it had no aircon, so I filled it from the gas barby bottle.. worked mint. He was happy, and I banked the cash so all good! I didn't see any gaping smoking holes in any local roads, so I assume it was all sweet.

Why so serious? Hahaha...

So I take it you tried to ignite it then to simulate something going wrong - like say someone lighting a cigerette?

Baking Soda can also be used with a battery charger to remove rust.

Are you sure it's Baking Soda you are refering to. I used this process once but used WASHING SODA quite a different compound

Fuck off.

We were outa there real quick. Came back much later on when it had all slunk away. It would have been funny walking around with a box of matches and lighting them and hiffing them into corners, but I like all the skin on my legs. FOOOM!!!

So what relevance does your example have to "If something ignites"?
It's ok, don't answer that, I already know, same old same old.
Hey at least you're consistent.

Yep, consistently constructive, amusing, fun, and always ready to pick someone up.

Read your own posts, and reflect; You're consistently abusive, belittling, angry, and always ready with a put-down. Fortunately, your destructive personality has no effect on me, so your poisonous attempts amount to nothing. Perhaps try beating up on your own kids, or do they not talk to you any more?

Go down the toilet, angry old man. You waste your own life.
