Yesterday there was a gas explosion near Otterton in East Devon which caused the complete destruction of a recently built property.

Thankfully there were no injuries.

The cause of the explosion was a gas storage tank in the Basement of the house. The property was not connected to mains gas.

I have never heard of such a system before. I am surprised that Building Regs allow it.

Seeing as LPG is heavier than air, it’s not.
