Plumber's van exploded earlier today in the news. Must have been a pretty big gas tank to do this much damage
 :. Nobody hurt, but kinda feel sorry for that BA/BF with its side near torn off in the neighbour's driveway  :  ...'His apprentice told of his miraculous escape after he was hit by the van blast, which occurred after his workmate pressed a keyless device to open the vehicle. Luke Clark, 17, was standing in the driveway of Mr Ponton's home when the new VW Transporter van exploded. Mick Ponton this morning. Mick Ponton this morning. Photo: Penny Stephens ‘‘He’s unlocked it and there was this big explosion and I went flying into the fence,’’ Luke said'....  :Last edited by barra265t; 22-10-2009 at 07:42 PM. |

That'll buff out.
Nah seriously that was pretty bad. Apparently the gas went off when the apprentive unlocked it with the central locking remote.

We are only allowed to transport oxy/acetylene gear in soft tonneau utes at my work, no vans or canopy utes. No gas build up, eliminates the problem.

Those oxy bottles can be dangerous things. One of my mates dad was a plumber earlier in his life and used to take old spent bottles out in the boat fishing, when the fishing got boring they would float it on the water and knock the top off with a sledgehammer and watch it dart across the water. Probably not a good idea in case it barrels back towards the boat!
