The US Navy rightfully wondered about that, and performed many test on their a/c after TWA800 --over 100 times then even dumped entire HIBACHIS full of briquettes, tossed flaming rags, etc into full tanks, 1/2 full tanks, almost empty tanks, and what did they get..?

When my tractor's fuel injector mists diesel fuel into the cylinder, it explodes every time the piston compresses it - it doesn't even need a spark.

So where was the compression on flt 800?

It does not explode, it ignites. There is a difference.

No, it ignites. If it exploded it would ruin the engine. It is a controlled burning.
