Common causes. A gas explosion occurs when the gas/air mixture reaches a critical value, then any spark, flame or heat source can ignite the mixture. The explosion is caused when the rapidly expanding, burning gas is confined and builds up pressure. As the pressure builds, something has to give, and in a home gas explosion it is usually the windows.
A Diesel-Like Clattering in Your Gas-Powered Car. Worst-Case Scenario: Detonation, also known as pinging or knock. Why: Things like bad gasoline or incorrect ignition timing cause the fuel to go boom too early. If left unchecked, you risk serious engine damage. What To Do: Switch to higher octane gas, which resists detonation, and check the timing.
