Lovely looking dog there :yeah:

This crash though reminds me of a time when I was travelling home from college on the bus when we pulled up behind a learner driver in a BMW who had just run into the back of another bus and shunted his engine block forward. He was lucky away without trapped legs really, if the engine had been shunted back any more then it could have been more serious.
Anyway, we're all standing around the wrecked Beemer, a couple of the other college guys are having a smoke when we suddenly noticed the dripping petrol on the road. Suddenly all the cigarettes disappeared!

I would like to see someone light gasolene with a cigarette under normal conditions. I have put out a cigarette in a bucket of gasolene, in a jerry can and in a puddle of it, it just wont light. Open flames from lighers and matches are another issue though.

The ignition temperature of gasoline is higher than the temperature of a cigarette cherry, from what I've heard. Not a bad idea to keep the smokes away from it, though. :DL

The temperature is high enough, but the surface area of the coal is not large enough to transfer enough heat to cause ignition because coals are generally poor conductors of heat.

actual liquid gasoline might be hard to light but the vapors can sometimes be another story

Vapors are allways in play when it comes to gasolene, when i put out acigarette in a bucket of gasolene, the cig first comes into contact with the vapours, then the gasolene itself, same deal with jerry can and puddle.
