I’m curious to know what makes this safer? Are our regular steel cylinders unsafe or did not go thru certification and testing?

They look shiny new and all but I’m skeptical about this tech?

I can attest to the safety of the regular steel tanks.
Had gas leak last week... serious scary shit went down. Fire came out from the regulator part. One of the scariest few minutes...luckily managed to put it out.

Aftermath, the regulator, hose and the plastic disc on the tank melted somewhat. Didn't explode. No secondary fire. Singed my hands...in the process, but, that's about it.

Replaced the regulator...was really apprehensive...but, yea...the tank is ok. It really was the regulator issue.Attached Image

I managed to get one from an agent from a neighbouring 'territory'.

A bit heavier than I expect at full tank. I can just about carry it with one hand to the kitchen. Wife can just lift it, cant carry.
And the tank is 'fatter' but shorter.

Where I live gas delivery is unreliable. So will use this as spare tank and for the dapur goreng2 outside, since it is rust resistant.

Gas price is as standard when exchange empty tank, i was told. The first downpayment is double that of normal steel tank, one off. but delivery charge is bit expensive though. Maybe bcos quite far distance in my case.

So, by your experience just the weight benefit?
How much was it exactly? For the whole downpayment, delivery and exchange (later)?
I will try to use petronas gas app delivery for my next time, just for the experience. No issue with the current provider.
All that said, i almost want to go induction only after my recent gas scare.
