Thanks for this im having heating problems and gonna try these things first

Thanks. It save a lot of time and labor not having to remove the back seat.

Glad you were not hurt. Thanks for sharing. Is that a MAPP burner top? Some are propane only and some will work on both. I had this happen with an old top one time and it was using cork as a washer/seal that had gone bad. Good luck in the future.

Often the "Big Nasty" air wrench is much better than the "Big Red Wrench" safer at least.

Thanks a lot for your response. I appreciate it. I’m gonna order one.

You showed putting the exit hose on to the pump where does the other end of that hose go?

I wish all the installation videos on TH-cam or like this one where it pretty much explains every connection that you have to do but I did not see the fuel line connection to the engine.

Someone is tapping the bunper w a wrench

When your wheel sends Morse code

Chinesium.

My man. Thanks, I needed that bit of advice because I work with MAPP to make jewelry, and I don't want to die doing it.

I actually had that happen to me back in the 80s. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.

No safety glasses ???????

I see no explosion

I have the same one and it does the same thing but the fire comes out the vent holes.

Also you got a lesson on the principle of refrigeration, ? Yup !

You can't use a Mapp gas on a propane torch head. They must be jetted differently. I had this happen to me. It was scary. I just had the standard propane head on mine. Glad you didn't get hurt.

Good thing you were wearing gloves. Looks like it could have been very unpleasant burns on your hands if they didnt have a little protection

Wow! Scary. Good you had enough sense to throw it away from and not under your truck. We call it a gas axe.

You're lucky man. Seen worse before. Scary shit. Bottle problem or torch problem?

I had the same thing happen to me a couple of years ago when using one of these torches in my garage and luckily I was wearing leather gloves when the flames 🔥 erupted and the garage bay door was open, in a quick split second I became Tom Brady throwing a Superbowl game winning "Hail Mary" 50 yard pass 🏈 down my blacktop driveway breathing a sigh of relief, when I retrieved it the hard landing caused the top area of the bottle to be bent making the screw on tip slightly off in one direction but still useable, and I also replaced the defective seal.

lol, its always funny to see a "green" bottle on an oxy set... here, green is AMMONIA! almost never seen in "the wild"...

LOL!! Been there DONE THAT. Same shock and same reason. I also tossed it like a lit dynamite stick! LOL!! I always smell the torch head before use. If you smell Kapton (ONIONS), YOU HAVE A LEAK.

It's the blue wrench!

Good thing you were wearing gloves!

iv seen this happen the seal blows out

The sky is killing. The sky is falling. - Chicken Little.

That didn't blow up if it did you'd be dead that was just an example of somebody not checking their equipment before they use it

A man has got to listen to his torch.

Noted. Now stored with tank removed.

We call 'em the blue tip wrench!

Thank you for making this! Will pause next time and listen for leaks.

Wasn’t tight.

My uncle was using a similar torch and tank in a auto body shop years ago and the bottom of the tank ruptured and he lost his right leg and his manhood in the explosion and nearly died, these torches can be dangerous if they are defective!

I had the same thing happen not to long ago one minute I’m heating a bolt the next my hole arm was on fire pretty scary.

When you look up and see someone stoll the pin from your favorite hand grenade

It’s always been called the blue tip wrench, it fits everything.

Oxy-acetylene = "the smoke wrench"

Where was the "earth shattering KABOOM"? It caught fire. It did not explode. Don't embellish, just tell it like it was.

While on a ski mountaineering trip, at a hut high on a glacier in the Canadian Rockies one winter, I had the same thing happen to a small camp stove. It was leaking and the entire table burst into flames. I grabbed the small propane tank, walked to the door, and threw it down the glacier several hundred feet. Once the source was gone the fire went out and the hut was saved. If the hut had burned down we might not have survived the night.

I wouldn’t call that an explosion, but it would definitely get your attention.

You obviously don't know what you're doing because you're supposed to always check for gas leaks beforehand

We call it the "Fire Wrench"

The mapp torch was the least of your problems...You were laying under that vehicle that was on nothing but a floor jack...That is one VERY bad habit...It's only a matter of time before you find that out the hard way...

Cross threaded the torch onto the bottle?

Breaker bar is way better than impact (depends on the impact of course);

I found the greatest tool in the world. I bought an Induction Bolt Heater. I paid about $200.00. Professional versions start about $5-600.00. I love it it only heats the metal and not the plastic and rubber near by. It's a lot safer, especially in tight spaces. I bought it to do a water pump on an old Ford that is notorious for snapping bolts. After that job, I figured it was paid for.

Thanks some scary shit....... thankfully you were outside and not in the shop

Make sure you tighten up the valve

Quick reactions, good job! BTW you might want to think about using eye protection when working on stuff, you never know when something unexpected might happen. You only have two of them.
