NGV - - - LPG = Explosion!

Another explosion during refilling of NGV? People just never learn? Or perhaps they don't care?

Why are they using LPG tanks to replace NGV tanks??? This is crazy...I guess with the rise of petrol price these people are force to use natural gas as an alternative but converting to a Natural Gas Vehicle maybe too costly for them (RM4,500 - RM6,500). So, they could have took the easy, cheaper alternative way out - using LPG tanks!

There are unscrupulous people out there who promised that their conversion method (using LPG tanks) is safe and cheap. "No problem one, do so many aredi, cheap also", they'd say!

BULL SHIT! Safe my foot! Look what happened to the two brothers in Malacca and this is not the first incident! Why are our government not doing anything to educate its people? How many more life need to be sacrificed? I wonder?

LPG tanks can only withstand a max pressure of 150 psi while NGV tanks can withstand up to 3000 psi of pressure. I hope you can see the difference and get what I mean. The natural gas pressure from the gas pumps at petrol stations are normally set between 2000 to 2500 psi.
Imagine pumping gas into a 150 psi tank at 2,500 psi! How not to explode???

Try watching this video clip, you'll see what I mean.

  1. LPG explosion might due to too much pressure on the LPG tank. It's just the same with some explosive devices which can kill number of people.
