What happened

A vehicle deflagrated while its driver attempted to refuel at the HAM/Bionet LNG–CNG station. The operator's preliminary account said the LPG vehicle's driver mistakenly tried to use a CNG dispenser and forcibly connected the incompatible, higher-pressure system, rupturing the vehicle tank. An adult and a child were injured, the vehicle and dispenser were damaged, and the station was temporarily sealed. No fire followed the deflagration.
