No need for mythbusters. It would ignite before the tracer hit the liquid when the air/fuel mixture was between the lower and upper explosive limits. Those are known quantities and the reason that at refineries, gas plants, production facilities, etc. we wear vapor detectors and we calibrate them on a regular basis (some instances daily). We also go to great extremes to limit the iginition sources to engineered equipment.

Yes, where are all the eco-groups, protesting the savagery being done to Mother Earth?


The fire cleaned it up.

Hard to understand why someone would wait in line taking in all the fumes in the air, gasoline spraying all over you for 10 gallons of free gas.

Looked like a self correcting problem to me.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Second fuel pipeline explodes in Mexico

A pipeline in Mexico exploded while people were stealing fuel from it, near where a similar blast this month left 115 dead, an official said.

The new blast struck Monday in the central state of Hidalgo, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) from the site of the explosion 10 days ago.

State governor Omar Fayad said there were no initial reports of anyone being injured in the latest explosion, in the town of San Agustin Tlaxiaca.

Fayad said people had been “milking” the pipeline.

Media broadcast footage of large flames billowing out of a punctured section of the line.

Illegal pipeline taps are a dangerous but lucrative business whose players include powerful drug cartels and insiders from the state oil company Pemex.

Pilfered fuel costs on average about half the price of regular gasoline. It is estimated that such theft costs the country three billion dollars a year.
