Those tanks have 4 millimeter inch thick stainless steal.
So nothing can happen...
Yes. No. Not at all.

I'd be worried about the hoses, though.

Depends what's inside, the pressure could build thanks to the heat
>>7940172
It only takes one of those sparks quantum tunneling into the tank, and there are millions of them.

Just imagine how common this is, in an infinite Universes this man has died and killed everyone in his workshop.
>>7940256
you can't even feel them, let alone heat up a fucking tank.

But he also saved an infinite amount of cancer ridden children because sparks quantum tunneled into their inoperable tumors and burned them!

The sparks mainly hit the blue gas tank. It's probably oxygen gas inside and not flammable by itself. So a spark inside wouldn't do shit.
The red-ish one is likely acetylene. It might not burn by itself (without oxygen) but can undergo an exothermic reaction with itself. I cannot judge whether a spark inside could start the reaction.
>>7940172
At that distance you could bare your nutsack in the stream of sparks and nothing bad would happen. If you were really close it would be a problem though.

It's not the penetration of the tanks that's the risk, it's leaky valves / hoses.

With quantum tunneling, that spark itself is broken up into quantized packets of heat, and it would take a significantly narrow probability distribution to start a runaway exothermic reaction as that pressure. The question isn't "if," but at which distribution the tunneled heat would have a non-quantum effect.
It won't burn your hand, you won't even feel the warmth, not to say about warning of burning through metal tank

Taste the rainbow
>>7940172
you could put these tanks into a big campfire and nothing would happen
>>7942538
Yeah that's not true.
I use cut off wheels often enough to know that you get little spec sized burns from the removed material
>>7940172
that's what you get when all you do is learn theory detached from realistic problems. You would be a terrible engineer. Scientist too.
>>7942550
Seems legit
A few years ago in the news some drunk idiot threw a keg into a bonfire. Ended up exploding and sending massive chunks of aluminium shrapnel everywhere killing him and maybe a few others. Can't remember precisely.
the sparks can't transfer enough heat to be a danger.
>>7940373
Bull. The environment within the tank wouldn't even be conducive to combustion.
>>7940172
Wise anons are right, only the hoses are at risk. I've seen sparks from a cutting torch melt through an acetylene line at the steel pickling plant I worked for. It burned a hole in the hose and turned it into a giant blow torch. One of the guys standing around watching just lept forward and turned the tanks off. Problem solved. They're not as scary as you seem to think.
