What a coincidence, mine's down right now because the fuel tank halves started leaking! Also what's a gallon or two lost out of a 40gallon tank?

lmao they use fiberglass tanks for waste water on airplanes but I'm pretty sure they aren’t pressurized

LPG intalls always make me twitch. Even aside from the visible I-used-copper-plumbing-pipe-for-this poo poo, just the inherent nature of them is something that's for people trying to run a car they can't really afford, which obviously always ends brilliantly.

um excuse me posted:Fiberglass tanks are standard use on most SCBA tanks in the US. Those suckers are 4500psi. LPG is 320 psi at room temp, though I'd rate them for 200°F at least. I think that's probably Compressed Natural Gas, not Liquified Propane Gas that gets used for car engines, CNG has MUCH higher pressures, and can't be liquified at room temperature. They should also have a relief valve integral to the valve assembly, I'm sure that was removed/defeated though. I don't think they're rated for extreme cold though, and that pic looks like Russia in winter so it's also possible that the tank has a flaw, and passed below its Reference Transition Temperature, which could have lowered the strength of the steel tank liner by an order of magnitude, and caused it to rapidly and catastrophically fail by a mechanism known as Brittle Fracture.

Someone got tired of someone taking a baseball bat to their mailbox (disguised as a street light), and filled it with concrete and rebar.  I see the audio/visual alert is working well.

Another "It came from imgur"... a HMF in progress  Literally  Like dude you could have cribbed it with wood and it would have been okay but instead he goes full-on  Edit: Reading through the comments apparently he made a form and filled it with concrete.

Maybe it's the angle but that looks like barely enough space for two cars.

Almost every steel framed building has columns like that. On larger bolts, with packed non shrink grout under the base.

Cases are just thin brass. When in the rifle, it’s supported by the steel receiver, and can’t expand or fail. Just a little bit of pressure (the clip, in this case) on the bullet means the gas will find a new way out instead of separating the case and bullet.
