G'day,
Has anyone ever seen or heard about a standard OEM propane cylinder in a GMC
that has caught fire or blown up?
I am not interested in anecdotal information regarding any other type of
propane bottles connected to a BBQ or some other type of cooking equipment
or installed in any other type of motor vehicle, trailer, whatever.
Thanks,
Rob Mueller

Jim Bounds has a picture of a completely burned GMC on his webpage. It's in the section advertising fire extinguishers. I would be curious to know what happened to the propane system in that coach. That being said, I can't imagine a scenario like the one with my parents travel trailer that would cause a well-functioning, non-leaking OEM system to explode. Me calling propane a bomb was me just being a smart mouth since I no longer have it in my coach...
Thanks,

My 1974 26' Sequoia burned 6/1993. I had to walk 2 miles to a phone.
Upon my return, the coach was a frame. There was no trace of the
propane bottle. Picture is on the GMCPC.ORG web site under Shadetree
in my third fuel tank article.

I had the same thing happen to me with a portable bottle. The
rosewood plug went and it looked like an afterburner. I'm not sure it
is possible to blow one of those things up. When I was a Sheriff in
San Diego I worked the Willows fire. Many homes burned to the ground
but those propane bottles didn't go. The plugs melt and they just
turn into a long burning torch. Saw some 1-2-300 gallon ones that
didn't blow also. Right next to one was a tractor melted in half.
