Krak:Because the actual gas is what is burning in a controlled manner. That is why you light the match stick before opening the gas little. Obviously you won't get it. The best will be for you to do the practical alone so you can understand the dynamics. |

SlyCharlie: You make no sense here.. next time read and comprehend.. let me break it down for you.. concerning the incidence in question, there is no first-hand information pointing to the phone as the causative agent.. anyone can say anything.. but that's not the issue.. the debate is can a phone lead to gas explosion.. the answer is yes which can substantiate that the story is true.. Now to the science of it Propane or butane aka liquefied petroleum gas or domestic cooking gas as we all know it is gaseos and as such stored in metal tanks (cylinders) at high pressure. The chemistry here is that since its a fuel, it requires ignition upon which we use the heat from it to cook and all what not.. now igniting the gas from the burner (as you well know) requires a lighter or match stick (at least thats conventional) but it would interest you to know that static electricity such as sparks, even your own body, etc could ignite the gas to burn.. yeah Now since the gas is at high pressure and is very volatile, you would notice that opening your gas cooker without striking a match stick will leave your kitchen pervaded with gas (if you have a good sense of smell) in a very short while.. that gas fume which has escaped is highly inflamable and if the kitchen admits very little ventilation, any little static electricity can ignite the gas leading to an explosive reaction.. yes explosive.. your phone is an electronic device and if there is a generous amount of gas fume within that environment, the handset (not made to be that way) may malfunction, even overheat and could lead to an explosion. The problem with domestic gas explosions is that, the cylinders most often than not were leaking, and made it possible to ignite.futhermore, upon leakage, it isnt really everyone that smells up gas when its leaking...propane on its own has no distinctive odour, thats why a chemical is mixed with it as a safety measure to aid detection in case of leakage... fuel+oxygen+ignition and you get yourself fire..in this case, an explosive one.. To be on the safe side, its best to avoid using your phone when using the gas. EOD 1 Like |

For those still arguing if a phone can or cannot cause gas explosions, believe me, you dont wanna find out by yourself. Some like you who thought casual of it are at the great beyond now. For those who feel they are seasoned scientists, If you are still in doubt, a little personal experiment with YOUR gas cylinder and phone in YOUR kitchen should put your mind to ease. Preferably make a video of it too. Well, For those who value their lives, the wise thing to do is to avoid using your phones while using the gas.Gabadaya 1 Like 1 Share

Temidayo9: Idiot. battery is highly inflammable. Explosiveness of a phone is like a banger and when it vibrates, it attracts the gas wave and gbagam, u don go. always keep ur phone far from kitchen. just as u answer call at the filing station and face the risk of explosion, so is to gas. muru Ihe.

Ayoswit: Fada Lawd, hear what one of your "shildrens" is saying. The fact that you have been doing it, doesn't make it right. The fact that you have been getting away with it doesn't mean there is no inherent danger. My dear, be warned. You have been sitting on gun power all the while. Biko, stop that practice.

Calypsol: Its better, but not foolproof..if leakage from the gas hose funnels into your kitchen, filling up everywhere with little or no cross ventilation, any static electricity coming in contact with that, kaboom!!! |

gas cylinders r nor meant to b placed inside d kitchen which increases the risk of explosion if there's a leakage due to its close proximity to d fire. that's y it's not advisable to use all dese 3kg gas that uses a direct burner. But dumb Nigerians will never learn. 2 Likes |

dejavuh0007: Bro the fact is that these cylinders themselves seldom explode unless there is excessive heat..the explosive reaction is a result of the gases combusting spontaneously .. it burns with a high explosive force..not the way diesel or lesser inflammables burn.. Concerning the direct burner cylinders u mentioned, these are used Worldwide even in the USA. Of course they werent manufactured in Nigeria, the problem with our country men is poor maintenance culture.. a typical example is this direct burner cylinder, there is a rubber gasket placed at the top inside the cylinder valve which supposed to be replaced upon refilling but people just dont care..that rubber gasket acts as a tight seal preventing the minutest amount of gas leaking away Some times you see some funny ones buying old worn-out cylinders and respraying it 1 Like |

Mrlouis:I agree with u. But i believe these direct burner cylinders are meant to b used outdoors in the first instance. That's y it's called camp gas. They aren't suited for domestic use. 2 Likes |

dejavuh0007: Lol..quite true..but going for camping with a camp gas cylinder doesnt neccesarily mean that using the gas at every time is gonna be outdoors.. You could be camping in a wood cabin which of course will require you to use it within the cabin. It's still domestic use ..camping gas in the sense of portability.. Some peeps even use them as source of heat inside their camping caravans.. The key is vigilance and maintenance.. |

Bluffly: Leakage can occur anywhere as you rightly put it. But what the guy is saying is that if your cooking gas is already in use, it doesn't make sense to say that the use of phone near the cylinder will now cause explosion again. |

dejavuh0007: Stop being unnecessarily alarmist. As long as it's maintained (change burner once rusts become much, replace rubber valve at refilling, etc) there shouldn't be any problem. I've used mine for close to 20yrs without any issue. Likewise a lot of people I know. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Na so people go just dey lie anyhow. An explosion will only occur when the fuel is under pressure eg gas cylinder. Hence the talk of phone causing a generator to explode is absolute rubbish. One is even claiming keke Napep engine caught fire from a phone??!!! Hian! In fact I watched an episode of myth buster where they clearly showed that a phone cannot cause fire at a filling station. The expert who later spoke precaution made for just for the sake of it. Phones cannot ignite fuel. lets stop disgracing ourselves. 1 Like 1 Share |
