Why Are There Less Domestic Gas Explosions Than Before by ikorodureporta(op): 7:34am On Jun 23

Why are there less cases of gas explosions in our homes despite having more users..
Back then the news of explosions used to be scary...

Is it that the gas is less volatile?
I'm usually afraid seeing little children mishandling the cylinders

Technology has improved. The gas cylinders now have safety features. The LPG is of a better quality. People have become more knowledgeable and safety conscious. Etc angry

I think it is because people can't really afford to fill their gas cylinder to the brim anymore.

Because even the gases are hungry, they don't have any strength to explode like before. Tinubu's economy has dealt seriously with them.

This I have seen.

I believe he’s right.

Shake an unopened PET bottle of Coca Cola. Watch what happens when you open it. Fill another bottle halfway with Coca Cola and shake it vigorously. See the difference when you open it.

Just another example of how Tinubu and APC have destroyed the prosperity, peace and stability that PDP handed over to them 11 years ago.

To some extent, it's the truth. At least from what I’ve observed during the few times I’ve been to the gas station since the whole hike ish. Most people with 12.5kg cylinders don’t seem to fill them up anymore. The only people I noticed filling up their cylinders were those with smaller ones, like the 3kg cylinder you mentioned.

The gas sold today has been heavily diluted. That's why they don't last.

Their is nothing left in the right side of your brain and nothing right in the left side of it.

So, level of gas in the cylinder is the cause of explosion?

Most people are more aware of of the dangers of it and are taking action. Most people now put their cylinders outside the home with a pipe connecting it to the gas cooker.
