Correct Propane tanks are not high pressure. But a BLEVE IS a high pressure
situation. Specifically when the maximum safe pressure of the cylinder has
been breeched and the safety valve does not release the pressure
sufficiently, quickly or at all.

An EV's has a far greater potential to leak acid or short and make the
vehicle into a rolling welder or elephant sized cattle prod.
Gelled or solid electrolytes can solve this problem.

High pressure tanks do not fail randomly. A negelected or non-annually

cordain,
Thank you for that post on the comparative safety. The Scott air packs are a
very safe item.
Yes, I would like the air powered car, also. Because the technology is not
available at this time, though, I am at present putting aside money for my
EV conversion. For the very reasons you

Until you get in a crash and your 3000, 4500 PSI

not pretty.
Big high pressure tanks make me nervous.

A propane cylinder does not exceed 37.5 PSI
An air tank on a tractor trailer rarely exceeds 150 PSI
Just to clarify..
To me, a 3500 PSI natural gas tank is more scary than a high pressure air tank,
it's not the initial release of gas that I'd be scared of, it's the resulting
explosion.
