Well geez, if that's the case, he got lucky. Hmm, high pressure gas
bottle, PV=nRT, T goes up, V stays constant, Blamo! Just the simple fact
of having a gas bottle in the trunk of a car (that sits in the sun, and
consequently, happens to be painted black) would make me nervous. Not to
mention putting a heater jacket around it.
