“Yep. “Empty” or nearly empty tanks are much more dangerous than full ones thanks to the vapour/oxygen combination.”

Something like grain elevators, it’s the grain dust that can go “boom!”.

I saw the military blow up a WWII era bomb storage bunker with a 100 pound bag of flour and a secondary explosion to light off the flour dust after the initial blast inside the bunker.

Nothing more than a man made grain dust explosion.
