No, Barry, it was not you. I wouldn't expect such a comment from you. It
came from someone in the USA (not Warren), who said that crs with LPG
tanks were carrying an unexploded bomb.My reply to that was that the
already carry petrol which is more explosive than gas.
There are hydrogen fuel buses here as an experiment but I have not heard
any comment on their success or otherwise so far. If they are going for
natural gas for the whole fleet it may be that the expense of using
hydrogen here is too great also.
Cheers,
Bob VK6BE.
