The distinction between an inflammable liquid
and a combustible liquid is based on flashpoint.
ISTR 140 Fahrenheit as dividing the two.

If you are using an open container of an
inflammable liquid like gasoline,
paint thinner, acetone or naphtha near
an open flame like a pilot light that may be
the last mistake you ever make.

Doing the same with a liquid that is
merely combustible is not a great idea,
but very unlikely to be as exciting.

Oh I don't know. Something which catches fire is exciting. Something
which kills you dead right off, you don't have time to be "excited". :-)

But good points on the safety issues
