a little bit ago, the cap on a low power flame torch thing busted open and started spaying some kind of gas everywhere. basically it got really cold and started dripping some kind of liquid that froze what ever it touched, and nothing really happened besides that. should it be worried at all?

yeah, the tank was pretty small and ran out within about 5 or 10 minutes, and that was about 2 hours ago and it was in an open garage. im guessing the explosive gas wouldn't still be there, right?

vent the area and make sure it does not light..... and you will be ok


when gas expands it gets really freaking cold, that is your freezing liquid

Propane is very flammable. So, if u have a leak and the propane reaches an ignition source, KABOOM!!!! Unless the propane dissapates in the air, there is a good chance of something bad happening.

Well there is the possibility that the gas could ignite and cause an explosion. I suggest you call the gas company to come and check it out asap.

Hi. Once the propane reaches a critical concentration relative to the oxygen you could have an explosion. Not a happy thought. Get it fixed!

If gas hits an open flame it can be real bad.

The gas has probably dissipated, but call the fire department just to be sure! They have sniffers and can get rid of any lingering gas!
