A propane tank (500 gal. I’m guessing) blew up on an extremely hot day in Wisconsin (at a resort at a golf course, I was there), no open flame was involved. I can see a heated tank exploding due to rising pressures in a tank.
Gotcha. In my mind...I saw the tank in this story as a 20 lb. tank. Perhaps a bad assumption on my part. If it were, then my statements would apply. I have no knowledge of how a 200 pounder would react. Well...not strictly true. I do now.
WOW!
I’m in Wisconsin. The tank for our shop had been overfilled one summer and vented. It was extremely hot, but all it did was vent. It was old and the paint was in poor shape. Hubby repainted it reflective silver and that was the end of the problem. We did immediately notify the supplier and they sent someone out to check it. Paint was all it needed.
