Very bad news in event of loss of fuel containment.


Haha, not so bad as loss of H2 containment (as seen IRL in Norway) ... and of course farmers deal with it every day.


Ammonia is deadly of itself. Even before it explodes.


Well to increase safety one can use a fuel like ~methanol with a regular ICE, no need for electric conversion or reformation, just a new carburetor! i was suggesting NH3 because it is much more dense and involves NO carbon at all. Like i said farmers regularly deal with NH3 ... so it can be safely handled.
