Also the report requires the fuel to be at a temperature of 96.4° F. Max temperature for that day was 86 degrees, presumably at the hottest part of the day.

Also the flight took place at 8:31 p.m., which was well after the peak heat of the day.

The fuel was heated by the air conditioning packs and calculated to be flammable at the time and altitude of the accident.

Sure, why not? If you are making stuff up, you can make up air-conditioning systems heating the wings.

It looks like they use a ground system to cool the aircraft when it's waiting.

The onboard air conditioning system exhausts under the belly.
