Have you ever tried setting fire to diesel? It's almost impossible
to do by throwing lit fag ends and freshly struck matches into a

Not recommended that you try this with petrol though...
Actually, you can stub out a cigarette in petrol. Throwing a lighted
match
in petrol isn't recommended though if you're *not* expecting it to light.

LIQUID petrol goes out, but petrol VAPOUR makes a nice fuel-air bomb.

I (almost) have the scars to show for that. Luckily I got the whole
area covered in cold water in seconds, and it only needed one A & R
visit to put on plastic skin...


That must be a record ...
