txaggie08 - YOU WERE DUMPING GAS ON A BURNING FIRE FROM A CAN??? WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING? You could have been on a trip to the morgue not a hospital. And methanol fires are more dangerous than gas fires in some ways because they burn invisibly. You can see them in our fuel because of the oil and nitro mix. Ever seen an Indy car fire? You can watch the fire suits (nomex) burning without any visible flames.
yeah, but gas explodes.....trust me gas explodes bad.
i was ALOT younger then, and was a complete idiot with thhe stuff. that little incident taught me a lesson about doing that thouhg. i still use gass to lite fires, but i poor it on BEFORE its lit then throw a burning torch at it from a reasonable distance....
