No. Firstly, helium will not explode chemically as it is inert. Secondly, if you wanted to increase the pressure in the tank, you'd have to heat it, not cool it. If the tank material were faulty, it might conceivably crack but in that case the helium would just escape.

Yes, you can keep a helium tank in a car without it freezing. Helium doesn't freeze until temperatures reach around absolute zero, which it never reaches in our atmosphere.

How much helium is in a helium tank?

The amount of helium in a tank depends on how big the tank is (volume), the pressure of the helium and its temperature. It is calculated from the ideal gas equation with allowance for compressibility.


Is moisture buildup occur more in cold or hot weather in your gas tank?

In the cold weather is where you are going to run in to moisture build up. As you operate a vehicle it heats up, in cold weather you tend to get sweating, as it is called, on metal and plastic components. What does not evaporate is what leads to moisture up. If the tank is full of fuel, it is less likely to have any problems.


Will a helium tank explode?

It can. Helium is compressed and put into tanks under pressure. The tanks are tested and all that to insure they're safe, but if they are exposed to intense heat or severe mechanical shock, or if they have a defect, they can fail. This is a mechanical failure and there will be a tremendous release of mechanical energy - a blast. But this explosion is different than a chemical explosion due to combustion or oxidation of the gas, like with a propane tank. Helium is an inert gas, and it cannot explode chemically. But make no mistake about it - tank failure under pressure can have dire consequences. People have been killed in the explosion of compressed gas cylinders, even when the gas isn't combustible.

Why doesn't the gasoline explode when the car gas tank is full?

There is no reason for gasoline to explode in a tank. There is no heat or spark source in there. But the basic answer might be that there is little to no air (specifically oxygen) in the tank.


Why does a steel tank filled with helium gas not rise in air?

A steel tank is hevier than the helium so it holds it down.
