Guys, watch this... I shed a tear at the part when Nicole said "When the people are suferring, where were you (PAP)?"

Man dies after homemade natural gas cylinder explodes Tank for fuel was placed under a seat in van and had originally been a cooking gas cylinder FATAL BLAST: The scene after the explosion at thepetrol station THE two brothers liked tinkering with gadgets and modifying them But last Friday, their hobby led to the death of one of them when a cooking gas cylinder they converted to store natural gas for their van exploded. Younger brother Mohd Hilmi Ishak, 25, was killed in the blast that occurred at 7.50pm at a petrol station in Batu Berendam, Malacca, reported Malaysian newspapers. The van, with Mr Hilmi, brother Mohd Rosli, 30, and a friend, Mr Razali Md Zin, 31, had pulled into the petrol station. They were filling up the cylinder, which Metro Ahad said was understood to have been under one of the front seats, when the blast occurred. It blew out the front portion of the van and two doors and shattered Mr Hilmi's left leg. His abdomen was ripped open. He was rushed to hospital, but was pronounced dead at 1.30am. The other two men had light injuries. The brothers run a family business dealing in second-hand electrical appliances. Mr Razali said they had been using the van for a month and had often travelled to Singapore and Johor in it. Spark caused blast The explosion is believed to have been caused by a spark from the engine, which was running while they were refuelling, New Straits Times reported. At the hospital, Mr Hilmi's father-in-law, Mr Zahmin Ibrahim, 50, told The Star that the victim and his daughter, Madam Nur Syahirah, 23, married about four months ago. He said his daughter, who is two months' pregnant, was devastated. 'We refused to allow her to come to the hospital as the loss would be too much for her to bear, as she is now pregnant,' he said. Road Transport Department director-general Solah Mat Hassan advised the public to use authorised workshops to install natural gas tanks. He said: 'Sometimes, people are taken in by the cheap conversions offered by irresponsible workshops. 'Some people also ignore the basic safety rules at petrol stations, like switching off the engine and their handphones.' Cooking cylinders too thin An authorised installer in Johor, known only as Mr Lai, told Nanyang Siang Pau that cooking gas cylinders are not suitable for natural gas because they are usually not as thick as natural gas cylinders. Datuk Solah said two similar incidents had been reported in Kuala Lumpur . Malacca Chief Minister Mohd Ali Rustam, who visited the survivors, urged the authorities to clamp down on those who illegally modify their vehicles. Sin Chew Daily reported that the brothers once turned second-hand washing machines into coin-operated ones so that the machines could be used at public places. Several schools in Malacca have benefited from the innovation.

I did a search in Youtube and found many videos on homemade biofuel. Do you ever think of DIY biofuel at home to power your car ?

This apparently homemade contraption is legal on the roads. "Yes, they're doing this for a living, but is this even legal to be driven on the roads?" "You can just imagine how slow it is." Under Which Class ?.......
