- lutorm 4y agoLeaking natural gas tends to leave you exploded, too...
- krageon 4y agoMethanol can also explode (and set things on fire). In terms of a fire hazard they're both very bad.

- whazor 4y agoThere are natural gas leaks on a regular basis here in Europe. It only explodes with a fire source. People smell the gas leak and inform the fire station.
- lstodd 4y agoOnly if it's doped. Pure methane is odorless.
- whoooooo123 4y agoIs it ever not doped though? At what point in the process do they put the smell in?
- tblt 4y agoAt the distribution point, usually. Some gas networks intended for industrial use don't contain the chemical that makes gas smell as that gas is an input in a chemical process, not burnt for heat.
- bufferoverflow 4y agoLeaking methane rises, so it's not a huge problem. We have natural methane leaks all over.
- rocqua 4y agoI believe most natural gas floats though, right?
