RE: Videos of burning vans
Did anyone else viewing the video of the burning Westy speculate on what was
causing the spurts of fire from the left side of the van? I'm going to
guess that what you are seeing is the pressure relief valve on the propane
tank, as the tank heated up, venting propane into the fire. This may answer
the question that comes up from time to time about fire hazard from the
propane tank in the event of an accident.
