Good thing you have a clean well now.

Carbide miner's lamps used to burn that.
Their kids would often use it for fireworks on the forth.

What? Rotten egg smell is H2S.

Methane is odorless.


Carbide lamps produce acetylene.


Preemptively.....oxygen is not flammable.

Everything Jim said!


And methane in water isn't that uncommon.
Shows up often in coal country, sometimes to the point it sputter and
splatters when you turn the water on. Often worse first thing in the morning,
or after not using water for awhile.

We were kids at the time. We didn't know we could weld with it too, or we would've tried.

YO! It's a good thing we have inorganic chemists like Walt here to set us straight.

Yep. You could do the same in the old Ranch House I mentioned before.

Now what the gases were, I dont know for sure, but methane is commonly found in water. It usually pops out as bubbles and the water is fine. In an enclosed container, such as the water tank, it could build up and ignite.


Yep. I’m guessing Methane.

Lived in a old Ranch house out side of College Station, TX while going to TAMU. The water well hooked up to the house from an old artesian well had methane in it. When you took a shower, the water smelled like sulfur and rotten eggs.



The whole area around Kings County there has a very high sulfur and alkaline content in their water. It does indeed smell like sulfur and rotten eggs. This event is about twenty five or thirty miles West of me.

Don't you just love it in a crappy action flick, when the hero is saving some victim from a threatening fire. And the camera periodically focuses upon Compressed O2 storage tanks, while ominous music plays.

And then as the hero miraculously dives to safety with the distressed damsel in his arms, the whole place goes up in a spectacular "oxygen fueled" explosion.

Hydrogen Sulfide or methane gas and failure to perform Confined Space Entry monitoring. Lack of ventilation pretty unintelligent in this day and age. They coat the tanks on the inside as well and some of the primer/coatings can be toxic during application.

Not to safe there.

No, carbide + water = acetylene, not methane.

Water tanks apparently don’t have an emergency vent like large fuel tanks do. Also most large fuel tanks have what’s called a frangible roof so that the roof tears open before the shell to bottom weld comes apart. I’m guessing D100 water tanks don’t have the weak roof to shell weld...

RIP to that welder.....I am a tank inspector and I’ve thought about this a bit while in and around tanks being welded on.

a million and a half gallons sounds like a lot. That much water would cover 9 city blocks with one inch of water.
