years ago when I lived in Florida I had a high pressure disk let go in a tank that was inside my vehicle. I owned an old VW bus at the time and used to keep all my gear inside "just in case" I got a last minute chance to dive. Back then I dove about 4 days a week and always from the beach. After work I would drive up and down the coast between Lauderdale and Boca and pick a spot.

Anyway ...one afternoon I was walking toward my bus and saw what looked like a bulge and scrape on the side. At first I though another vehicle had crashed into it. But, when I openned up the sliding door I saw that one of my tanks (which were laying down on the floor) was standing up and leaning against the side of the bus.

All I can say is that I was glad not to have been inside the bus when the tank broke loose.
