    For reasons, I’ve borne witness to portable propane tanks punctured in high velocity impacts. Sadly, unless there’s an ignition source or substantial friction/heat, the propane will just vaporize into gas and vent away [citation needed]. From what I observed, the tank made a great big impact noise and lots of wooshing, but no flames or explosion.

    We then tried it again with a small tea candle nearby and the results were more spectacular.
