If this were the case wouldn't tanker trucks hauling diesel be prone to explosion?
No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
The ones I've seen used jellied gasoline. basically a gas and sterno mix. They were used to keep growth down around fencelines. I was soooo close to convincing my parents to buying me one back in 1984.
I'm thinking there might have been some chicanery on the part of the survivor.
The ones I'm talking about are WWII and Vietnam era military flamethrowers. Civilian ones probably use other stuff because compressed nitrogen isn't something that most people have laying around.
Gasoline trucks certainly are, presumably. I can only imagine (knowing nothing about it) that there must be design features and operating procedures designed to prevent explosions.
