Dearborn Moderator United States 94666 Posts	Posted 11/11/2023 12:34 pm No, no property damage, it was contained to inside the tub. I was in it too with the propane tank between my legs when the seal blew. It is the small tank that plumbers use for soldering copper plumbing. I heard the seal go and tried to turn it off but it flashed over before I could. All I saw was a huge fire ball and I was in the middle of it. Collecting since 1972.

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2001 Posts	Posted 11/11/2023 12:38 pm Oh how painful that must be! I had one go up on me this past week too because of a leaky torch head. I was afraid that the tank would blow up and I tossed it out in the yard. Put on some thick gloves and was finally able to turn it off but burned a finger tip doing so. That stung for hours. can't imagine how painful your injuries must be. Get well soon my friend! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94666 Posts	Posted 11/11/2023 12:41 pm I had to grab the torch and carry the thing, all on fire outside and sink it in the pool to put it out. Then to make sure the house wasn't in fire, then in to the cold shower for 10 minutes, then I drove myself to the ER 15 miles. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
