Re: exploding plastic storage tanks
Another means to address the safety concern of a light weight plastic tank would be a design that included either an integrated pressure release valve or a fail safe. Something that would release pressure in a known manner before catastrophic failure. This would allow lightweight tanks to continue to be used and eliminate the risk of a "user error" causing significant harm.
