Recently on a neighboring railroad, two Mechanical employees were killed as a result of butane cigarette lighters exploding. In both cases the men were involved in welding or burning, and sparks penetrated the plastic housing of the lighter, causing the liquid butane to explode with the equivalent of three sticks of dynamite.
The main reason that a propane tank will explode is due to fire or extreme heat. Unfortunately, many are injured (about 6,000 people a year) from propane tank explosions. How, you might ask? When propane tanks are exposed to extreme heat, pressure builds, and explosions occur. Or, a tank might be leaking, and any source of ignition can result in an explosion (for example, lighting a cigarette). Propane naturally has no odor, so an odor of ârotten eggsâ is added to it to let people know if they have a leak.
