Important

You do know a smoke will not ignite gasoline.....right?

Rev
Not sure I'd bet my life on it. According to my searching, a cig burns at about 750degF (outside of burning section, the center gets to 1000, gets even hotter when you draw on it)... autoignition temperature of gasoline is 495degF.
 
I watched the fire chief drop a cigarette into an oil pan full of gasoline back in the day.

cigarette went out.

Boy Scouts before it went all PC.

Important part right there....

Gasoline as a fluid in that condition will not ignite... it was trick for the audience. He removed one leg of the fire triangle...

Hold that same cigarette a half an inch above the liquid and see what happens...

true, he was demonstrating the fire triangle.

I don't know if a cigarette will ignite just funmes in the proper concentraion.

This sounds like somehtng that needs to be proven/disproven first week of march.
 
if I manage to show up, I'll do the demonstration... gas is fun :firedevil

I've dipped my finger in gas and used it to light charcoal grilles before. As long as I keep it off the back of my finger, it works great and results in no burns.
 
The heep will be in jackstands shortly! Just pulled up to B-rads and waiting on pizza.
 
and all the beer Brad can drink.... :cheers:

The Chevy just pulled out of the driveway a little bit ago.....I still have mixed feelings about selling a perfectly good truck......
 
So after being out of the auto industry for the last 5 years I forgot how much I enjoyed it. First week down and it's amazing how fast the forgotten stuff comes back. Now tonight I get to start taking all my tests to get my certification from Mazda. I wrote 2 warranty tickets this week. When I worked for Jeep I would have written 50-75.

sounds like a few too many beers the night before to me. By the way(been there, done that).
