Thanks for the post it was something worth sharing as we ponder the situations that might befall every one of us.

Jester: Thanks for your response, let me clarify, any tank from 5lbs to 1000 gal size, if you compromise the vapor valve there is no safety check to stop the flow, same thing if you compromise the relief valve-no check valve to slow down the flow.

glocksandkahrs- asme spec tanks are thicker than 20lb BBQ type tanks (DOT)

Hope this answers ???

Best to the both of you.

Then could a pistol penetrate the side of an ASME tank?

Glocksandkahrs: I don't know, if I had to guess, I would say something on the line of a 44 mag might, I never have tried. All ASME tanks have a tag on them that tells what the shell thickness is, some do vary in thickness. What I do know is that my 22-250 will drill a 5/8 I-beam.
