[QUOTE="maxkpp, post: 318402, member: 7204"] NGV tank is designed to take up pressure of 3,000 psi hence it is heavier at ~ 45kg and more expensive ~RM1K LPG tank is designed to take up pressure of 60-120 psi (lupa lah dah lama tak buka kitab) and lighter ~ 20kg and cheaper (RM150?). From the newspaper reports, I deduce that they had fitted an extra tank (LPG) to their NGV system. The NGV filling is done at 1,500 psi and LPG tank can only take up 120psi, even if there is an overpressure valve fitted, I think it could not take up a sudden surge of 1,500 psi, which is more than 10 times it is designed for. There was another incident some years back in Taman Wantan (?) where a baloon man modified the industrial LPG cylinder and it exploded. Among the victims is a young girl whose leg have to be amputated. Moral of the story, we must take Pua Chu Kang's advise ... don't play-play, ar! [/QUOTE]
