And it seems like H2 would be more volatile than gasoline since it is a gas at room temperature and would be under pressure in whatever storage container is used.

It if the container were ruptured, the gas would quickly disperse within the air and, if a ignition source is available, would more likely ignite all of the fuel instantly.

FAE bombs function the same way.

Not so with a gasoline in a gas tank. Actually, gasoline has to be atomized in order to burn properly.

To burn most efficiently, yes. But as a foolish teenage given the task of burning our trash in the burn barrel, I can assure you, it burns REALLY WELL, just about any way you try to combine the liquid and flame.

I also know, that a paper sack full of trash will launch from a 55 gallon drum flaming garbage spread over ~20’ radius if allowed to set long enough to first evaporate enough of the liquid.
