The tank is pressurized to over 800 PSI unlike conventional fire extinguishers. At a pressure of just over a hundred PSI, the tank was used for demonstration purposes. The substance in the tank is carbon dioxide. which is a substance that is very cold and does not spread As for the cause of the explosion, will it be because the tank is placed outdoors or not? Have to wait for an expert review. And still don’t know if it’s a private tank that the officers bring themselves or it’s a tank from Bangkok, but when the accident occurs, all victims must be healed.
