LOL!
Gasoline won’t spontaneously explode in 100+ temps. If that were true, millions of cars would be exploding every summer.

I have a motorcycle kept in a enclosed trailer. There is a generator in there also. Although I open a vent in the summer, it has to get to 135F or more at times. No explosions in 30 years now. (I rotate gas out every two years if the bike hasn’t been ridden).

Well, that explains those booming noises I heard in the distance last summer.

It’s not the gasoline. It’s the vapor—remember all these posters talking about evaporation? That’s vapor. And we in Phoenix have seen enough fires from such a scenario. Don’t laugh until you get all of the facts.
