I think we are using "safeness" to label different issues here. I was not referencing any of that, only the explosiveness and such.
Also keep in mind that when dealing with an automobile engine, if there is a leak in a gaseous hydrogen fuel tank, the hydrogen would diffuse through the atmosphere fairly rapidly. Unless it is in a garage or some such, which could potentially cause problems. Opening the garage door (and possibly setting up a few fans) could clear the hydrogen out in no time. A simple pressure gauge on the fuel tank would be sufficient to set up a warning device to detect leaks.
Automobiles almost never explode in accidents (contrary to what Hollywood would say). Automobiles using hydrogen for fuel would not be any more explosive than those using gasoline (mostly because there is a lot less hydrogen necessary to power the car than gasoline, as hydrogen creates more energy when combusted, and so less is needed to get the same energy output). This is what I was talking about when I mentioned safety, not just leaks.

And Fyron, you're not responding to my post about how your initial reply in this thread implied that hydrogen was safe? Odd. Does that mean you are surrendering the point?

It means I am ignoring you on that, as I am tired of going in circles with people that will not ever admit they may have been wrong. I have explained already how it did not imply such a thing, and there is no point in repeating myself if you (and others) aren't going to accept what I have already said. And don't try any irony BS here, as I always admit I am wrong when I am wrong on an objective issue, where it is possible to be wrong (as opposed to subjective issues such as McDonald's "food" is garbage ). So, there is nothing ironic about any statements in this post.
