Hamstersss Posted January 17, 2001 Posted January 17, 2001 This is the semi that ran into the state capitol building. I thought Deisel fuel wasn't so combustive, flammable, etc. Any idea why it would do this? [This message has been edited by Elijah Meeks (edited 01-17-2001).]
109 Gustav Posted January 17, 2001 Posted January 17, 2001 Diesel has a higher flash point than gas. Therefore, it requires more heat to cook it off, but it will still burn just as well once it gets going. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat. But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown. And pray my body will be found, Alaska salmon fishing, boys, Alaska salmon fishing. -Commercial fishing in Kodiak, Alaska

Mace Posted January 17, 2001 Posted January 17, 2001 Hot air from the politicians probably aided in the combustion! Mace

Bullethead Posted January 18, 2001 Posted January 18, 2001 Fun night for the fire department. I observe the fire has spread already to neighboring trees Oh well, the city budget just took a hit for AFFF foam resupply no doubt. ------------------ -Bullethead In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is strength, in water there is bacteria.

von Lucke Posted January 18, 2001 Posted January 18, 2001 Damn --- my old home town! This is why I now live in the vast empty spaces of New Mexico: You can see those speeding semi's full of evaporated milk coming from miles away...
