Pure hydrogen tanks cannot explode.

They can burn and cause a large plume of almost invisible flame. I watched the local Sheriff fire a 30-06 through various tanks. The propane/natural gas and hydrogen tank did not explode. They didn't even ignite. The gasoline tank did ignite and eventually exploded. The lithium-ion battery did too. This was for a county wide demonstration and training for first-responders as an introduction to various alternative fuel vehicle treatments.

Gasoline is by far the most dangerous fuel we use.
