As for filling stations at these pressures, all I can say is I don't
want one near my house! I am sure that all these demo uses have highly
trained technicians doing the fill-ups. Wait until its everyday folks
doing it, with all the Murphy effects mixed in!


Josh, don't hold your breath for H2. I enjoy sparring with you too much!


Wait till somebody with one of those tanks gets rear-ended at 60mph.
No, that is the sort of thing that can be engineered for. You provide
crush zones and bracing to protect the tanks.

You can provide whatever you want, but it won't eliminate ruptured tanks
or vehicles fires.

Doesn't have to, if the risk is no higher than it is for gasoline.
From what I"ve read, the consensus seems to be that a vehicular
hydrogen explosion in a collision would be rare, just as a gasoline
explosion is: the tanks are tougher than gas tanks and if they do
rupture, and hydrogen dissipates more quickly than gasoline would.
