Gas bottles and vehicles

Rockape.
Do you think it will be a rightoff.

I'm sorry but --- "I noticed the smell"....and still he proceeded to drive and use electric windows??
There's no helping some people.

hi
the owner must have had a death wish
as to even think about unlocking or starting it
im amazed it didnt explode sooner
rather than when he put a passenger window down acetylene
wow some mothers do have em !!!!
and i notice it's LHdrive
he needs to fix the airconditioning by blowing the other side out now lol
dero dero me

Rockape,

You should have put this one in Friday Funnies................

Only in America.

I think it vastly improved the appearance.

Wonder why the front air bag has gone off considering the sensors are in the very front of the vehicle, also the curtain airbags which I suppose is possible ?? Why the hell you would even go any where near the vehicle if you could smell it is beyond me especially for some one who looks like he's probably been in the game long enough to know the dangers of this stuff. If genuine he's extremely lucky to be alive. Wonder how insurance would be with that type of gear in the back ?? ......................

Did he say " Oh what a feeling Toyota "

Carrying gass bottles in enclosed vehicles is a know high risk hazard, but people persist in doing it.

Yes acetlyene is a much more energetic gass than others, but the issue remains.

This is why neither BOC nor Air Liquide will allow any gass bottles to leave their yards in enclosed vehicles

NOW
The valves just got bumped....BULL bleep .....if the bottle was there alone with no regulator, either it was not properly secured and the valve shut off tight.

What is more likley is that the whole oxy set was fully assembled and not properly shut down..IE the valves on the bottles were not turned off and the hoses purged and the handpiece valves shut.

I'd lay a penny to a pound that bottle valves were wide open the handpiece valve got "bumped".

It comes down to doing a risky thing AND not being carefull doing it.

NOW..how many campersand 4wders carry LPG bottles inside their enclosed vehicles.

There was a bloke not long ago had his car catch fire in the main street of Ipswich, because of leaking LPG bottles...

This stuff happens folks.

cheers
