Interestingly, jet fuel isn’t that easy to ignite.


To put it mildly.

I use diesel to start and feed wood fires on my property because it’s hard to get into trouble like you can with gasoline. And Diesel and jet fuel are not that far apart, at least in combustibility. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel

I could shoot a diesel can all day without getting it to do anything.

Now, gasoline is another matter.

Put one gallon of diesel or jet fuel into a 5 gallon gerry can. Put it outside in the desert, in the sun.

Then shoot it.

From a distance.

Be ready to be very, very surprised.

Yep, hard to believe that they told us that static electricity caused flight 800 to blow up.
