    I wonder if hydrogen fuels poses any unique risks as compared to petrol.

    It’s highly explosive.

        Well, different. You’d have highly compressed hydrogen in a cylindrical pressure vessel.

        The Hindenburg just burned, actually it was mostly its highly flammable paint that caught fire. When a pressure vessel is ruptured, it explodes in a big way, or it quickly removes itself from the vehicle like a mini rocket.
