Jello:

Could be gelluite. Have no idea how to spell, but that will be close and it has to do with explosives.

It is either a separate explosive or maybe what happens to old dynamite.......ask a man who knows.

I know that old dynamite with crystals on it will explode from moving. Bill wouldn't even allow me to look at what other goodies might still be in the area, if we found old dynamite at a mine.

whipped cream:

The topping, a stick of dynamite or a blasting cap, to set it off.

About the missing gas, it would not be that difficult to pump it out of a tank.

Bill drove the truck for the local (Kingman) Mobil Bulk Plant and he used the same pump on the truck to pull it from a tank, when they needed to do so. They did not haul more than a couple thousand gallons at time.

In Wellton, we hauled all our water for a couple years, Sears sells a pump that will pull water out of a canal and then push it with enough force to push it into an above ground tank, height to the opening was 15 foot, comes with a gas motor.

I doubt that anyone would use the water pump for gas, seems dangerous.

Got old Webster's here...gelignite-a dynamite in which the absorbent base is largely potassium nitrate or a similar nitrate usually with some wood pulp.
