I’m just into the whole flammable gas under pressure in my (or anybody near me) car. Just seems like a bad idea.

Do you think it is more flammable than gasoline?

At least hydrogen and natural gas disapate upwards into the air if their is a leak, rather than pooling in a spreading flammable puddle.

I do not see the danger level much different than what we use today. The pressure is significant, but we transport welding type storage tanks every day.

I am assuming you mean you are NOT into flammable gas under pressure any where near you. Thank God you live in an area of the country that doesn't use Natural gas to heat homes then, eh? I thought large parts of the country had natural gas pipe lines running to homes and businesses, I may be mistaken and that my house is the only one that uses Natural Gas, under pressure, to heat, cook and heat my water.

BTW, vehicles that run on Propane(a gas under pressure)have been around for years and years. I know several people that have them and they run on either gasoline or propane. Not to mention the fact that many homes have large tanks containing propane under pressure sitting in their yards.

Fear of Natural gas as an auto fuel is unreasonable.
