    correct me if im wrong, pero diba, 3 components are needed to create fire? Fuel, oxygen, and extreme temp(fire/igniter). So hindi talaga sumasabog ang tank, dahil compressed gas sya and no way to mixed with oxygen para mag fire even igniter is present(fire), hindi kaya yung leak lpg sa cabin, mixed sa cabin O2, tapos yung faulty electricals ang nag cause nung explosion? so its the cabin ang sumabog.

    It was pointed out that the cause of the fire was electrical in nature.

    also, about the backyard installers, just curious lang if yung gamit ba nila is the real deal with improper method of installing or totally imbentong pinoy lang using improvised things?
    thanks
    How can you be assured that all hose clamps are tighten properly, no leaks from the multi-valve assembly from the tank and all electrical wiring and plumbing are secured from vibration?

    Certified installation shops would have technical people who have been trained to install such kits properly and have the equipment to make sure the installation will last a long time without leaking from every joint and connection on the first pothole you hit on the road.

    The LPG tank "could" explode if the contents are exposed to high temperatures long enough and if the safety pressure valve is jammed shut.
