It depends how you define an explosion which is just a very quick fire. If you burn an LPG gas bottle in a fire, eventually at about 400degC the contents will expand enough to cause the bottle to fail at the weakest point, then as pointed out the contents will catch fire & burn.
What an accident on a Russian motorway involving gas bottles of unknown specification containing an unknown gas fracturing & catching fire has to do with caravanning I know not.
It also proves that gas bottles do not explode. The video shows gas bottles fracturing on impact & the contents catching fire not exploding.
All it proves is that flammable gas burns, which I think we knew already.
