ORIGINAL: And fuel oil has a MUCH higher flash point!
Hair spray is in a sealed container, as is WD-40.
Jack Daniels and other "alcs" have relatively low alcohol content, and certainly don't contain "nitro".
Storing a container of our fuel in the house is closer to storing a gallon of gasoline in the house.
Ok, so you have a point. So does ballgunner. But heres an experiment for you to try.
Take some of your legal to keep in the appartment lighter fluid for the grill, throw a lit match into a tiny bit of it in the bottom of a coffee can. It will burn.
Spray some of your hairspray over a candle, its a blow torch.
Put a tiny bit of fuel in the bottom of a coffee can and try to light it with what ever you have. Don't keep your face right over the can.
Bet you can't light it.
It has to be compressed to burn well.
Don't try it in the house if you do try it. Better yet, don't try it. Anything will burn if you heat it with enough fire, but cans of model fuel don't just explode. In 28 years of flying, I have only heard of one plane catching fire in a crash and never seen one personally.
With all that said, none of it really makes a diff because the landlord is right, and fire codes are there for a reason. You need to find a place to store it. Thats the breaks of renting an apartment.
