How Safe is Gas on Generator?
Lots of Nigerians are still afraid of gas, as some think it can easily cause explosions, but I don't blame them. It's limited knowledge, which suggests why most Nigerians still don't use gas cookers at home.
The truth is running gas cylinders on the generator is safer than running it on cookers. Cookers naturally generate flame (naked fire), yet do not cause explosions, as the cylinders are built to handle the generated flame, whereas your gen doesn't generate flame. Remember we also have cylinders that carry burners (the student/camping cookers), and they don't cause explosions, too!
Again, if there's a leakage from your cylinder/hose in your kitchen, gas can easily accumulate and any ignition can cause fire, being that your kitchen is an enclosure, whereas your gen and cylinders, being outdoors, have adequate ventilation, which will naturally disperse any leaked gas - reducing the chance of fire and explosion, in case of fire ignition.
Although we recommend you keep your gen and cylinders outdoors to avoid overheating and use a hose of 3-5 yards. Also, avoid having your gen in a cluster of other running generators, as we have in some apartments.
