All you need it for the jet fuel to be above its flashpoint and have a concentration between 0.6% and 4.7%, and it most definitely will ignite with a spark or flame. You think perhaps the temperature in that fuel tank had reached 600 degrees Fahrenheit before the spark occurred?

LOL. #1 fuel can be ignited at less than 140 degrees.
Remember the demonstration video I linked to you.

But do I think the residual fuel could have been heated above its flashpoint of 100 degrees by the air conditioning packs mounted directly below the center tank after running for an extended delay on the ground during a hot summer day? Absolutely.
Out of curiosity, what is the significance of the 600 degrees that you state?
