[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 8920, member: 21"] Hey it's like any other engineering endevour. The solution is better materials. The real problem with glass is it can't take thermal transients very well. The unequal temps cause it to break. The glass not in contact with the fuel heats up. The liquid boils and contacts the heated glass and suddenly cools it breaking the brittle glass. Now a metal container, that has possibilities. It also has much more profound shrapnel possibilities as well. It is certainly dangerous and fatal injuries are definitely possible, but so is riding a dirt bike. Toyhauler's are one thing, but a tip over can burn the "guy" too. Be careful out there. I think magnesium is likely safer, just don't look at it without welding goggles. [/QUOTE]
