Explosion Causes
Propane tanks will never spontaneously combust. In fact, most tanks are constructed so that even outside factors will not affect the contents inside of the tanks. Usually, an explosion results from a fault or from negligence, which may include:
Any of these errors may cause a tank to leak. When the gas comes into contact with a spark, it will ignite. In some cases, the flame may follow the gas into the tank, which is when an explosion occurs. This is a very dangerous event that may lead to serious injury or even death for individuals who fall within the blast radius.
