not at all! its just a meme. Dunno if its coincidental or you're actually something like a gas fitter/plumber and hence the name and the technical knowledge. Was just a prime moment to deploy the meme lolI need to stay out of these conversations!!!
i remember doing dumb shit as a kid like this on a slightly smaller scale....That was the last time we fucked around like that. Age 12?
back in the 90's it was not uncommon for kids to blow shit up for fun. Cmon.
Haha, it's a variation of my name/initials. I've got technical knowledge in some areas but the extent of LPG in this is using it to heat bloody big gears and similar to shrink them on shafts.not at all! its just a meme.

so it was a coincidence. thats even better lolHaha, it's a variation of my name/initials. I've got technical knowledge in some areas but the extent of LPG in this is using it to heat bloody big gears and similar to shrink them on shafts.

thats even worse lol. At least using some sparklers they would have had time to get awayGuys I worked with told me stories of how they use lay down old oxy bottles down at the end of a industrial dock and smash the top off to see how far they could go into the water
I too did a fire course 20 years ago. Similar demo with gas but the one I really loved was a cup full of water tipped onto a cooking Oil Fire in a pot.My first fire training session was conducted by a guy who ran the fire response department at Sydney airport in the 70s or 80s. He had two 45kg gas bottles connected together with a single copper pipe sticking out. He would open up the valves and walk away and throw a lit cigarette into the gas stream. Boooooom and the fire was massive. Shooting out into the open away from us. Then he would talk to us about other stuff. The whole time everyone is looking at this massive flame. After a couple of minutes he said that, gesturing to the flames, that is nothing to be concerned about and walked over and turned off the valves. Then relit it the same way. He said that is only a problem if it is fueling another fire or there is heat reflected onto the bottles. If you cannot get to the valves and it is just burning in the air let it burn out. He then asked a few of us to extinguish the flames with various extinguisers. Each time one worked he lit it again. Finally after a few guys tried water extinguishers he said so water can't put out a gas flame? Most agreed. He then turned on the hydrant mains and smashed it with the fire hose. Yep it went out. Then he had the smallest demo foam system I have ever seen. He showed us what the foam can do. Hooked that to a 9L water extinguisher and put out the fire. Really impressive. Sadly that particular stuff was deemed too nasty.
In the time I was there his record was hundreds of fires lit, one real and very nasty fire extinguised with no injuries.
Made me think of this (ultimate CotFW) - Darvaza gas craterIf you cannot get to the valves and it is just burning in the air let it burn out.
They're fairly safe if you follow all the safety procedures, people become complacent and ignorant, then trouble follows.Man, all this talk of gas bottles has me really considering ways to burn off my brake pads next time they get contaminated!
Or in my case, maybe I can repeat my slicko-thinning experiment with just some gentle removal of gas bottle valves...
Ha, my comment was very tongue in cheek, perhaps I should have said "new and exciting" ways to burn off my pads And my slicko experiment is documented somehwere in the annals of this very thread.They're fairly safe if you follow all the safety procedures, people become complacent and ignorant, then trouble follows.
I was blowing some shit up only a couple of weeks ago.back in the 90's it was not uncommon for kids to blow shit up for fun. Cmon.
Molten sugar is responsible for some nasty burns.I love when people don’t believe you when you tell them that sugar is flammable especially when they are busted hiding behind the silo smoking, which is where it’s most dangerous, nothing like a sugar or flour dust fire. Did a fire warden course years ago where the instructor had a small tank with flour and a naked flame, puffed in a bit of air to unsettle the flour and whoosh up in flames, sugar is no different but some people will never believe it.
