Well I was going to wait until I could post a picture, but I'm having trouble with my camera so here's the story. I was recently filling one of may 500 gal. vertical storage tanks. I had been
checking the water level threw a plug on top of a t at the very top of the tank with a flashlight. It was getting close to the top about 1 1/2 ' from the top when I decided to check it again.
Not thinking I took a bic lighter from my pocket and used that for light to see. The next thing I Know A blue fame shot out the top for about 3 seconds whooooosh and I was down the ladder
and on the opposite side of the boiler room in about 1/2 a second. I have methane gas in my water ! Luckily I still have my eye lashes. It left a brown spot on the drywall 1 1/2'
above the tank about 4 " round and a water vapor stain in about a 3' circle above the tank. What an adrenalin rush !
