If it's an attack or an accident doesn't matter...IT HAPPENED!
That means any house/structure with a gas line can go BOOM at any time, without warning!
And that includes MY HOUSE!
It's not "supposed to" happen...but it did.
This is freakin' me out a little!
Quoting: Mental Case I don't know much about natural gas, but I do know about propane (and propane accessories). Can you install a pressure regulator on the gas line coming into the house? I see a lot of them on propane fueled houses. If so, I would do this right away. Propane is a different animal but a close cousin. Most propane homes use an integral or twin stage regulator with two built in diaphragms at the tank. If one fails the other catches it. Some utilize a 2 regulator system. One at the tank and one at the point of entry into the structure. In this case, both have two diaphragms. Different houses need different pressures with propane, depending on total BTU rating. Good thing about a propane system is that it is independent. They are not susceptible to outside failures like NG can be. Most 2 stage propane reg. systems are used when the tank is some distance from the house. It's for stability of pressure. The first is at the tank a high pressure regulator and another regulator next to the house to bring the high pressure gas down for use in the home. .
