Question:

What about the gas tank on fire?

What a scientific way to solve it! Please tell me

Answer:

Gas tank fire, dry powder, carbon dioxide and other fire extinguishers can be put out. When the powder is used to extinguish the fire, if the dry powder is spread to the root of the fire source, the fire will be extinguished immediately. But when it comes to the flames, it doesn't work. No out around the embers. It is not appropriate to put out the flame of the fire source, to prevent the spread of the gas patrol patrol fire again.
If the angle valve is damaged, can not cut off the gas source, then do not blindly extinguish the fire, you can quickly move the cylinder to an outdoor safe place, let it burn, and constantly cool down the water to prevent the heating cylinder explosion. At this point, must not be able to fire the gas tank on the ground. Because the cylinder on the ground combustion, regardless of whether or not the installation of pressure relief valve, generally does not explode. While lying in the cylinder through the gas bottle outflow, the rapid expansion of 250 to 300 times, to produce high temperature combustion, resulting in cylinder explosion. Accidentally knocked down the cylinder, it should be erected in time.
Gas tank leak fire, do not panic, not to run away. To close the cylinder valve immediately, and cool the bottle with cold water, with rags, sacks, bedding and other water soaked back cover in the gas cylinder, so that the flame suffocation. If it is found that the hand wheel angle valve is not closed, or the pressure rise, gland leak off, both hands pressed down on the angle valve handwheel, don't let others leave, with a rope to the tie, then the cylinder moved to safe areas, notify the Gas Co.
