Hydrogen. Gasoline has a much higher ingnition temperature, that is the temperature required to get it to burn, and it has elements in it that do not burn. That's why the byproduct of burning hydrogen is pure water and the byproducts of burning gasoline are water, cabon dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon, carbon disulfide, etc. etc.

Both about the same. The big difference is that hydrogen burns straight up while gas (petrol) burns outwards. Yes, the Hindenburg burned, but there were quite a few survivors because they were under the flames. Had it been a pool of gas, they would have been toast.

Hydrogen.

Definitely hydrogen. It has a lower flash point than petrol when it is in contact with air.

Hydrogen is more flammable and dangerous in comparison of both as hydrogen is mostly in gaseous form and if we are not careful, we can be injured.

Petrol is flammable.
Hydrogen is explosive.
That's what they teach in secondary schools in Singapore. Hydrogen in a test tube when exposed to naked flame gives a pop sound.
Try it yourself.
