Re: Big O' Fire!

For those that are curious about characteristics of flammable liquids (such as gasoline), and for those that would like a basics refresher, follow the link below. It's a simple and to-the-point webpage that is sure to enlighten you. This webpage was found by doing a simple Google search for "gasoline vapor temperature". Enjoy!

Re: Big O' Fire!

Here's a link to a news video of an actual fire started by a guy filling his plastic gas tank in the bed of his pickup truck. The truck had a plastic bedliner. DON'T BE THIS GUY!

This is what static electricity can do when you go into your car after starting to refuel, then getting back out and touching the pump nozzle: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...videoid=343108

Also, here's a video of Mickey Thompson's on fire, aided by a CJ:
