Ok so alot of people (or at least the ones in my head) said that gas wont catch fire. SO mike was playing with his new toy and he leaked some gas onto the shop floor. I got a lighter and lit the gas. And it DOES catch fire.



So, my conclusion is, that if you put gas into a area where air is accessible, then it will light. BUT you can't light gas such as if it was in a container (1 gallon bucket) and dropped a match into it.



Or can you!?

Gasoline is a FLAMMABLE LIQUID. (Duh). It will burn in the presence of oxygen.

Well, yes. But gasoline is quite volatile, and where you have liquid, you will have vapor.





For heaven's sake, man. Don't encourage the fool! He's liable to lose his eyebrows! Or worse!
