Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / October 2007Tiny Bubbles - the perils of propane
Here's a good discussion about how you've gotta be extra careful to level your RV before using your propane refrigerator so it won't blow up. Makes me wonder why people don't use a sensible electric refrigerator instead. http://burningrv.tribe.net/thread/b24f9961-3309-47d7-9fb7-a50e20b191bf Harry Harris  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com I can tell the story is bullshit without reading it.

I daresay many if not most of us have him filtered -- as well as those folks who keep him going by carrying on conversations with him. Join the club. Please. GB in NC Ok, i usually don't pay much attention to who wrote something. And I rarely have someone filtered. but I CAN do it. thanks. s >>Ok, so now i've read (most) of the thread at that link.

My Dometic 3 way is used in 12V and 110 volt mode only. I prefer my Coleman peltier power cooler to the fridge. T he gas stove is turned on/off with the tank and stove controls. I've been in a few propane mishaps and want to avoid anymore. Propane does not evaporate and collects in low places. Propane bombs also killed over 200 Marine in Bierut when Reagan was President. I say one cannot be too careful with propane and there are safe alternatives. Thanks for the info. "Lloyd Bonafide" should start emailing Harry "the sky is falling" Harris. They would get along great, telling phony stories about propane. Neither knows anything about the real number of propane accidents. Many more people die from electrocution than people die from propane explosions.

These statistics don't uphold your thesis, especially when the Texas penal system is not counted: http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/odds.htm Propane gas is much more deadly than electricity. Propane tanker triggered blast TACOMA, Wash. // An explosion at a foundry was triggered when a propane tanker burst into flames, touching off a series of other blasts, authorities said. The Saturday blast sent a fireball into the sky over the Atlas Castings and Technology foundry. It could take days to find out why the delivery truck, loaded with 8,000 gallons of propane, exploded, authorities said. The truck driver, identified as Charles McDonald, 64, was in critical condition at a Seattle hospital yesterday. Three others injured in the blast were released from a Tacoma hospital, authorities said. A large, two-axle portion of the tanker truck blew more than 150 feet into the air and landed in flames on a highway, state transportation workers told The News Tribune of Tacoma. http://video.aol.com/video-detail/propane-gas-line-caused-massive-explosion/4221 551114 Electricity does not kills hundreds at one time. Electricity can be turned off, propane cannot. Do not poo-poo propane on any safety issue. | > "Lloyd Bonafide" should start emailing Harry "the sky is falling" Harris. | > They would get along great, telling phony stories about propane.

But you are about the only one around here who doesn't ignore the dangers of propane and post lame arguments like "gasoline is more dangerous". That's like having unprotected sex with an AIDS patient and then saying, "So what, Ebola is more dangerous." Most of the people in this group are hopelessly pathetic when it comes to basic safety issues. I don't think I've ever run into a dumber bunch. They must have ostrich blood in their veins. They stick their heads in the sand and they think that's gonna protect them from danger.

BTW: propane doesn't "evaporate." It's already a gas once it leaves the bottle. Although, it is heavery than air by 65% and yes, if you have a propane leak in your RV, you should exit, turn off the tank, and "sweep" the propane out. Using the anology of water will go a long way in removing propane from your RV. Oh, and don't smoke while trying to ventilate your RV.

I wonder if the TWO are really ONE... Same style of BSing about the same tired old "Everything is dangerous and we shouldn't ever leave the safety of our houses". Of course no one told him/them that more accidents occur in the home than in the motorhome... DaveD >I wonder if the TWO are really ONE...

I always thought that the "tiny bubbles" were in the wine. At least that is what Don Ho said. DaveD >> Here's a good discussion about how you've gotta be extra careful to >> level your RV before using your propane refrigerator so it won't [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > DaveD Truth be told, your 3-way refrigerator uses Amonia. Anhydrous Amonia. Which if you get a leak, can not only be flammable, [when asperated in air at the correct proportion] but will cause you to go sleepy by and possibly not wake up. Propane at that point won't be of a concern. The amperage draw from the "heater" in the refrigerator can cause your RV to catch fire as well [from a loose elecrical connection.] Dangers all around us. Don't leave your home! Stay wrapped up on your couch and don't leave. Of course unless your in Southern California and your house catches fire! What's the odds of that?

It is not flammable. see- http://www.airgasspecialtyproducts.com/UserDyn/laroche/4001msds-r-06-20-07.pdf >The amperage draw from the "heater" in the refrigerator can cause your RV to >catch fire as well [from a loose elecrical connection.] Dangers all around >us.
