Re: Battery Suggestions
 

Loose hydrogen has the good manners to dissipate upwards which will
tend to cut the concentration quickly. Petrol tends to settle,
making it more dangerous if there is a leak. Granted that it is
far easier to see a petrol fire than a hyrdrogen or even alcohol
one.

Re: Battery Suggestions
 

I had an lpg carb-backfire once which wasn't nice.

"Why isn't my car running, and what is that strange noise from under the
bonnet...?"
"Why is the airpan rather hot ?"
Grab fire-extinguisher and spray into air pan ...
Luckily the nearest one to hand was a CO2 extinguiser not a powder one, so
almost no cleaning was required...

Re: Battery Suggestions
 

Hi Dave,
My guess is if it was hit in an accident, it wouldn't just burn
like the gas bags of the Hindenburg, but explode, big time! Like city
blocks would disappear.

Re: Battery Suggestions
 

Yup, hydrogen burns cleaner, it should it like alcohol cost ten
times as much as gasoline.
