so i get why, at sufficient pressure the gas would cause the container to explode. by why does it ignite? the pressure causes ignition? it doesn’t require a spark?

I am by far an expert on any of this but is it comparable to higher compression equals higher combustion like in a diesel engine? Either way scary and sad....I'll stick to electric...... praying for all involved.
