DAMN... that sucks big time!!! How did it happen? Did he forget to turn off the bottle warmer?
That is why it's a good idea to install pressure relief valves on this things.

My mother-in-law is the reason I stopped drinking.
Why? Because every time I got drunk I would see two of them.

X2, I've even had a bottle blow down once on me, with those pop-off valves, they sure drop that bottle fast. Now i guess we all see what happens when they are not in place or do not work. |

Did the explosion blow open the gas door and unscrew the gascap as well? Where was the bottle mounted in the car?

Another benefit of turbos. They don't empty and they do NOT explode.  A useful advice from Thejackstandforums |

The bottle is there. Problem is, it's all over the car. In all the rear hatch pics you can see the top and middle of the bottle all opened up and on the drivers seat is the bottom. Doubt you'll see more cause these pieces fly AWAY. |

I had one pop in the back of a camaro sitting in the shade under a tree. It did have like 14lbs in a 10lb bottle, and I forgot to roll the windows down. It didn't hurt anything though, it was just empty when I came back to drive the car. |

Thats insane. Im guessing there was no pop off valve installed? Ive seen the valves go early, but never not release when needed.

I had mine in the trunk where the spare tire went. It sat in the southern south carolina heat 100 plus weather especially with being trapped inside the car and no problems like that. I didn't have a blow down tube installed either.
