So if we work on the assumption that the LP didn't explode (seems to
run out of fuel)....

Would it be due to the design of the tank? (uber thick
wall/construction) Or does a tank like that not blow up even when
heated up with flames?

Was the intermittent leaking due to the OPD? I would imagine that the
plastic bits on reg would melt off in seconds. If so, I wonder if the
main valve was closed?
