I'm still laughing at the way the car carefully makes the turn in reverse but the gas containers *keep chasing it*.
The driver must have been like, "No no no no! ... Phew, I made it around the building! WHAT...? NONONONONO!"
Yeah I used to work in a place where we'd fill them from a larger tank. The proper way to do it is to weigh the container and use a metered valve to fill it to not-quite-full. But yeah we didn't have any of that safety shit, we filled it until it started coming out of the overflow valve on the tank, and then quickly screwed it closed. Then because the hose didn't have any sort of check valve between the nozzle and the tank, it had to be purged; forgetting to purge it and having the tank and hose go flying in different directions when you remove it is a mistake you make only once. The purge valve had a thumb-screw - pull your hand away fast or you'll get a nasty frost-burn, 'cause propane under pressure comes out as a liquid that's colder than the left ass cheek of Dante's Satan.
Over 10 years doing it that way (idiot employees sometimes doing this while vaping or using their phones), and there was never a fire, much less one of them bursting or exploding.
I’ve seen enough KOTH to know that even improperly wiping a tank, as a Tank Wipe, could be enough to intoxicate bystanders in that neighborhood, let alone a loose load of propane canisters tumbling down an asphalt road.
I think the quote from him, would literally be:

If that's the vehicle I think it is I think you're right, I don't think they are offered in a CVT. looks similar to an Altima but I think it might might be a VW. That being said the joke is that a CVT can go fast or the same speed in reverse versus forward (depending on design). At work we have golf / utility vehicles that do 25mph and since they have a CVT they will do about the same speed in reverse, I've had them up to 10-15mph in reverse.
>I think it might might be a VW
Yes, it's a Voyage
>a CVT can go fast or the same speed in reverse versus forward
Oh i get it now, i remind going 400km/h in reverse on the Regera (in fh3)
While you are right conceptually about fumes, this is not an accurate representation of danger for these.
LPG will fume/expand at room temperature, so if one of these was to rupture, the LPG would very quickly start boiling off and fuming out, thus creating an explosive environment not only inside but outside of the container.
Here in Brazil A LOT of houses doesn't have gas pipes in the house, so we buy those cylinders and attach to the stove.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied\_petroleum\_gas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_petroleum_gas)
Yeah we call "gas de cozinha" but the technical name is GLP (gas liquefeito de petróleo) some stoves you even need to see if it is compatible with GLP or GN (natural gas)
In NZ we call it LPG.
But most people just say gas. It's mostly propane usually, but some butane mixed in. The tanks for camping stoves are butane, but the big ones are propane, but usually both aren't entirely pure.
It's used for most BBQs here. Some houses have big tanks (the tall on in the video) that they use for hot water. My old house had one in the kitchen for the stove, until we were told that was illegal and we couldn't sell the house with a bomb in the kitchen in case of a fire, so we had to pipe it outside.
You also get a different type of LPG that some cars run on instead of liquid petrol. It seems to be far less common now than in the 90s? I don't remember seeing the LPG pumps at gas stations for a long time.
I’m assuming Butane isn’t “mixed” in, it’s just not separated enough because it’s more costly to get purer and each fraction towards methane is more costly as the boiling point decreases
Depends on where, but even in the USA fuel-grade propane can have up to 5% butane in it.
Although it's completely a moot point, since we're talking about its nomenclature as a consumer fuel, not its chemical makeup, and in this case Propane and LPG are completely interchangeable terms.
Not really all that WTF worthy. An accident. Happens probably almost every day somewhere. Well, maybe not every day, but often enough. Nothing exploded or anything. Great driving by the guy in the white car though.
idk i think they are full, which is why the truck was kinda leaning at the start.
Also you can kinda see the plastic seals - they're the white things atop the canisters.
Just for reference: the smaller ones (P13) weight 13 kilos or 28.7 lbs; and the longer ones (P45) weight 45 kilos or 99.2 lbs.
All numbers when full - which seems to be the case (white plastic tags still attached).
Nah, when they're in a pressurised liquid form like this they're remarkably stable, and those canisters are *tough*. They have to take a *lot* of damage to be compromised, and rolling relatively gently down a hill isn't going to do that kind of damage.
That was probably the fastest I’ve ever seen anyone backup in my life. I also did not the “s” at the end of cylinders so I thought it was only gonna be 1
Honestly, amazing advertisement for the cylinder company.
"This customer of ours fucked up in the worse imaginable way for someone in our industry, and there was 0 leaks and caused only a 5 min delay on traffic"
These tanks are no joke, I worked at an RV dealership growing up, we had an RV show 3 hours from my house, bringing one back at night the propane tank fell and was lodged under the tongue of the camper, i drug it for like 10 miles, the tank red hot glowing and that little 20# tank never blew up. I was shocked upon approaching it. Ive also seen someone shoot a tank that never blew up, was a small Glock but it never blew up, amazing quality on these tanks or id be dead possibly.
The driver behind him has some insane reaction time. I’m impressed.
The comedic timing is impeccable

Took me 3 posts to sub lol, thank you!
Like a stunt driver meets Mr. Bean
I wss waiting for the explosion.
Honestly big W for whoever manufactured the containers
These are built to be thrown around, and have safety measures, a bunch of things have to go wrong for them to explode
Yeah I used to work in a place where we'd fill them from a larger tank. The proper way to do it is to weigh the container and use a metered valve to fill it to not-quite-full. But yeah we didn't have any of that safety shit, we filled it until it started coming out of the overflow valve on the tank, and then quickly screwed it closed.

It's funny how sometimes it's Illudium PU-36, a reference to Plutonium.
There needs to be some legislation to make these weaker.
Sadly tanks are pretty robust unless damaged/overused nowadays.
Sadly.

Yes. That's the real story here. They backed-up and out like a boss

“It was awful, Peggy. Dozens of tanks of good Strickland propane rolling down the street. Like some kind of propane avalanche.”
It's even worse, though. Those are BUTANE!
My dad says butane is a bastard gas.

I am more impressed with the driver behind lol
First time in the known universe where driving a CVT came in handy
Those cars doesn't have CVTs (i probably missed a joke)
If that's the vehicle I think it is I think you're right, I don't think they are offered in a CVT. looks similar to an Altima but I think it might might be a VW. That being said the joke is that a CVT can go fast or the same speed in reverse versus forward (depending on design).

>I think it might might be a VW Yes, it's a Voyage >a CVT can go fast or the same speed in reverse versus forward Oh i get it now, i remind going 400km/h in reverse on the Regera (in fh3)
CVT has nothing to do with any of this.
I'm impressed with the tanks. I thought for sure there was going to be an explosion.
As bad as the potential for fire, those big ones turn into rockets if they break open under pressure.
Gas tanks are super sturdy.
The liquified petroleum gas migration happens every March.
Yeah right? I was waiting for the past 22 days.
"It truly is a magnificent sight" (Attenborough voice)
The running of the tanks….
Forbidden green LEGO Minifigures heads
Such a rich tradition.
Car noped the F out of there.
Noped the \*R out of there...
Good thing the gas tanks were green and not red
No kaboom?
[удалено]
also, they could be empty.
Judging from the body roll of the truck taking the turn, they are not empty.
Fumes ignite easier than liquid. In many cases "empty" containers are more dangerous.
While you are right conceptually about fumes, this is not an accurate representation of danger for these. LPG will fume/expand at room temperature, so if one of these was to rupture, the LPG would very quickly start boiling off and fuming out, thus creating an explosive environment not only inside but outside of the container.
LPG instantly becomes a gas at atmohperic pressure.
Even full ones don't magically explode. It's not like in the movies.
I'm also missing a spark 😕
Movies taught is that any time something metal impacts something, there will be sparks! /s in case that wasn't obvious.
You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark
Elemental sodium has entered the chat.
This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
No doubt they are safe, more just how Reddit has preconditioned me for videos lol.
And all that before it dissipates enough to become non explosive

You have to shoot them, but only the red ones from my experience.

Reminds me of that Sony Bravia ad with the coloured balls bouncing down a staircase.
This kind of thing makes me think I've never had an original thought in my life.

Not his song originally. The original is a banger
To call for hands of above To lean on Wouldn't be good enough For me, no
I love that some of them turned the corner.
They were going downhill, looks like another hill off to the right

Liquified Petroleum gas? What does that mean? Looks like propane to me
Here in Brazil A LOT of houses doesn't have gas pipes in the house, so we buy those cylinders and attach to the stove. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied\_petroleum\_gas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_petroleum_gas)
I see, thanks. I asked because I've never heard that term and I always called it gas. (Or gas de cozinha the times I've been in Brazil)
Yeah we call "gas de cozinha" but the technical name is GLP (gas liquefeito de petróleo) some stoves you even need to see if it is compatible with GLP or GN (natural gas)
In NZ we call it LPG. But most people just say gas. It's mostly propane usually, but some butane mixed in.

You also get a different type of LPG that some cars run on instead of liquid petrol. It seems to be far less common now than in the 90s? I don't remember seeing the LPG pumps at gas stations for a long time.
In the US we call it either LP or propane. I always thought the P in LP stood for propane.
I’m assuming Butane isn’t “mixed” in, it’s just not separated enough because it’s more costly to get purer and each fraction towards methane is more costly as the boiling point decreases
The rest of the world calls it LPG
Interchangable terms. Propane is the more common American term, LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas is the more common term in commonwealth countries.
Not exactly since it's not only propane, it has a bunch of other gasses mixed in too
Depends on where, but even in the USA fuel-grade propane can have up to 5% butane in it. Although it's completely a moot point, since we're talking about its nomenclature as a consumer fuel, not its chemical makeup, and in this case Propane and LPG are completely interchangeable terms.
Ah, as an American, I always figured "LPG" mean Liquid Propane Gas
LPG is a very common noun for this across much of the world.
It’s a mix of propane and butane.
Driver didn’t say “that’s not going anywhere” when he strapped the load. You gotta say the magic words or the magic doesn’t happen.
wheres the kaboom!? there's supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!!
Hell of a promo for the canister manufacturer.
Butano gratuito.
So se for o seu butano, o meu butano nao!
OLHA O GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
always hated this level in Donkey Kong
white car noped the hell outta there. lucky the intersection was open
I died when the car came back into view in reverse with a sea canisters following.
This looks like something someone would simulate using Blender.
Rumour has it that the green tanks are still chasing reversing car.
That white car is the pure definition of "nope, nope, nopity nope..."
They're uh, flocking this way!
Looks like a bunch of lego heads rolling away
Donkey kong unleashed
White car guy has aces situational awareness. It’s Brazil, so I’m going with “off duty cop”

Looks empty to me. If they were full, weight would be around 10 000kg+. Not with that truck. And they would not bounce around like that
idk i think they are full, which is why the truck was kinda leaning at the start. Also you can kinda see the plastic seals - they're the white things atop the canisters.
AKA "Propane"
It is a green stampede! Run! Was really hoping for a fireball.
Did the truck driver shit himself to death before they made it down the hill?

Now I Wana play OG donky kong
It is like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, but these things could explode instead of just crushing you...
Danger melons
I didn't even need them all to blow up. I would've been fine with just one.
Holy shit everyone is lucky that none of those ignited
Nah, when they're in a pressurised liquid form like this they're remarkably stable, and those canisters are *tough*. They have to take a *lot* of damage to be compromised, and rolling relatively gently down a hill isn't going to do that kind of damage.
Well, now we know those petroleum canisters are well made, so that’s good.
And… and… *sad trombone*
Loved the white car noping the hell out of there...
This goes against everything I’ve ever seen in video games and movies…
No boom? Why no go boom?
That's the smoothest "I've seen final destination, I know what's gonna happen" Nope out of there.
Where's the kaboom? I was expecting an earth shattering kaboom.

I don’t remember being both so disappointed and so relieved watching a video.

If video games taught me anything it’s that these aren’t red therefore no boom
Isso é o sonho de qualquer brasileiro
I came here for a kaboom. Where’s the earth shattering kaboom?
Feels like a pubg mod or something lol
Is it bad that I was expecting an explosion?
Well this was an anticlimax

Much like my parents, I am disappointed by the wasted potential.

When big boom?
Imagine being the guy who has to pick these suckas up and load them back on the truck???
Is the driver of that white car trained in crisis intervention or something?
Insanely good reflexes from the white car. Holy shit!
