It is essential for people to treat LPG, and any compressed gas, with respect and care. LPG can be deadly when it is not used, transported or stored correctly and the general public has not been made aware of just how dangerous it can be. An LPG cylinder will expand up to 250 times its size if anything was to happen to compromise the cylinder or its connections, so any LPG cylinder would expand 250 times its size in the case of an explosion in the matter of a split second, causing a massive explosion of pressure that is extremely destructive.
