Can Butane Gas Canisters for Portable Stoves Be Left in a Car?
1 Answers
Butane gas canisters for portable stoves should not be left in a car. Here are specific details about butane gas canisters: 1. Hazard: The gas inside butane canisters is flammable and explosive, with a maximum safe temperature of 40°C. During summer, temperatures inside a car can exceed 60°C, making it highly dangerous as the canisters may explode or combust. 2. Composition: Portable butane stoves, also known as compact butane gas stoves, primarily use canister-filled butane gas as fuel (though liquefied petroleum gas can also be used). These non-fixed cooking appliances employ direct flame heating and are commonly used for outdoor activities and as hotel amenities due to their compact and portable design.
