And in the same sort of tank?

Can't see your normal petrol tank taking 700 bar.

Is that safely fillable on the forecourt by your average punter?
Â*Interesting you should say "forecourt". Looking at a map I found
ofÂ* places to buy LPG, in a rural county these would seem to be as
muchÂ* non-forecourts. Places like taxi firm depots and agricultural
establishments (both f which presumably have LP-based vehicles and
haveÂ* been persuaded to allow the public to buy, maybe at reduced
opening hours).
Â*Which raises another issue - the growing trend for unmanned 24x7
forecourts, especially at supermarkets. Would hydrogen be
compatible with that?

It would be a connector that locks on and until locked on remains
sealed to prevent any leakage, plus a feedback signal confirming
that it is locked on to enable the pump and probably with a mecanism
that will only release the lock after the pump is stopped and
depressurised. SImilar things are common in industry. All the user
would have to do it insert the nozzle, latch it on, fuel up and
release the latch - the rest of the operation would be transparent
to them.

Wasn't F1 refuelling similar.
If anything can go wrong eventually it will go wrong.

And it did.

Eddy Irvine IIRC pulled away still attached to the rig. A car coming
into the pits behind him ran through the spilt fuel and caught fire

I think it happened more than once.
Jos Vestappen No other car involved and it was stationary
