Hydrogen is far more volatile than gasoline.

The flammability limits of hydrogen range all the way from just 4% in air to 96% in air; that’s a bell curve with a BIG, FAT WHOPPER of an explosive middle.

Gasoline has to be vaporized to burn, and LOTS of it has to be vaporized all at once to explode. In fact, you can quench a lit match in a bucket of gasoline; it’s just not that volatile in its liquid state, but in the vapor state — watch out.

So, tank-as-bomb comparisons between hydrogen and gasoline are just silly; there are vehicle accidents regularly that spill gasoline, and we do not see explosions all over the place as a result.
