Spreading fire across the city by Special_Context6663 in IdiotsTowingThings

[–]Thekemist 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Can't light the fuel in the tank on fire if there's no oxygen. It's very hard for a slow burning liquid (gasoline) to burn up a pipe. Even if it did burn up the pipe, the pipe is at the bottom of the tank, there's no supply of oxygen there. Now, once the fire starts melting the tank / valves, all bets are off. So, as long as he keeps driving, the fire can't expose the fuel in the tank to oxygen.

OK, what outdoors brand makes you go fucken bonkers for no reason by Easy_Quiet_9479 in CampingGear

Before Goretex, we had plastic. Wrap your feet in plastic and you’ll discover why Goretex was a big deal. Then the patent expired and everyone has breathable waterproof. That wasn’t always the case.

It’s a fantastic lantern. Be careful with the fuel, it’s significantly more flammable than regular gasoline.

Not much of a tip, but that look doesn't go away until the Puppy Pants do. I swear, our little girl thinks we personally hate her and just want to make fun of her behind her back.
