Which is more likely to ignite: a leak on a low pressure system or on a high pressure system?

Low pressure leaks

High pressure leaks

Low pressure leaks are more likely to ignite than high pressure leaks

Neither is more likely. They both have the same likelihood to ignite.

Ignition probability comes from having a flammable gas–air mix and an ignition source, not from whether the leak comes from a high- or low-pressure system. A leak from either system can form an ignitable mixture if the gas is present and has time to mix with air, and if there’s a source of ignition nearby. The pressure changes how much gas escapes and how the plume behaves, but it doesn’t by itself make ignition more or less likely. So, both high- and low-pressure leaks have a similar potential to ignite, assuming similar exposure to ignition sources and ventilation. Any leak should be treated as hazardous because ignition is possible in either case.
