Peter,
There is a
real risk of explosion without you can bleed all the air out of the system
first, just running a pipe from the septic tank is not advisable. In any case the quantities available
from an average sized domestic system will be too small for useful work, large
fluctuations in hydraulic load and household detergents and other chemicals
make domestic septics poor and variable methane digesters.
Cheers,
peter
