But it could set fire to your gear and mopp suit ?The butane baloon burns well for app 16 sec s though..And it is outdoor.I guess that would burn a t shirt through .
As for oxygene it will get some through the vents ,and the gas cant escape the room quickly so there is no just one way about imo.
Youhave to consider the heat the combustion develops -and the if the gas iis in a confined space ,it is concievable it will last longer.

Had it been napalm in the container, and it stuck to the mop suit, I guess it could burn through the flame retardant kevlar in a few phases. A gas explosion would hardly even burn through a pair of regular pants and a shirt.

Not really a good example, but shows how gas is consumed.

Shows lingering gas due to cold. Still don't think it would burn through the kevlar in one phase. |
