    Explosive and non-explosive (empty) butane tanks.

    Tanks that explode, throw fire everywhere and cause devastating damage, because they're full of butane.

    They are stable enough to transport even in high speed vehicles, can take hits up to ~85 kph (~53 mph) from an average sedan, but can't take being dropped especially the bigger ones.

    These explosions are the 210kg tanks, but 64 of them:

    The empty ones won't explode at all of course, but can cause severe damage when thrown.

    You can know which tank is empty by lifting it, it's always half as heavy.

    Some cool features:
    • A flexible top handle for easier handling and reducing accidental explosions when node-grabbing.
    • Center nodes for grabbing the tanks from their side.
    Configurations:
    • 4.5kg, patio size (full and empty).
    • 15kg, kitchen size (full and empty).
    • 45kg, restaurant size (full and empty).
    • 210kg, industrial size (full and empty).
    Notes:
    • While the tanks have the BeamNG logo on the back, they are not official game assets.
    • All the assets and files are my own except for parts of the 'jbeam' file which are taken from the mod "Explosive Propane Tank" by @B25Mitch and heavily modified, I changed the beam and node structure a bit, made the fire burn somewhat bigger and for longer based on tank size and made the explosion throw fire up in the sky and everywhere.
    • The models in game are 10x heavier than the real ones, that's why the name can be "45kg" and the description says "900kg", I made them heavier because vehicles didn't take them seriously at first.
    • The weight of the full ones is cylinder weight + gas weight, the empty ones' are just cylinder weight.
    • Configuration names are based on net-weight (the capacity of the cylinder).
    • For the calibration of collision speed endurance, I used the "ETK I-Series 2400".
    • Please try putting it inside the "B-25 Mitchell" bomber and dropping it from the sky, it works and it's really fun.
