Anyone got a good video or two of acetylene or propane gas cylinders going off?

Both Real Player & the Download Converter Add-on that comes with Firefox allow you to 'rip' Youtube videos.

I've been much more naughtier in other ways Piglet so I'll take my chances.  ;)

Hi Nearlythere

Looks as though you have had a good reponse to your request

I have some photographs showing the size of fire balls produced from exploding LPG cylinders ranging from a cigarette lighter up to a large cylinder (not sure of the size). These are USA pictures but the the sizes are relevant let me know if they are of use.
