Hi Chris, this is ongoing interesting especially for like minded senior citizens like yours truly. Especially your commentary Chris explaining what you're doing and thinking, and that makes it very interesting for us, additionally, no profanity is a big plus. I could watch this all day, thanks friend. Bob. NZ.

Folks, don’t try throwing gasoline on a fire like Chris does with diesel. As you saw, you can actually put the fire out with diesel. Try that with gas and you’ll be on fire. Just a tip. Don’t risk it.

Right! Gasoline produces flammable vapors in temperatures down to -40 degrees! So it's never safe to throw gas on a fire. (It's the vapors that'll get you...)

I worked at a John Deer dealer once. My boss told me and another fellow to burn all the wood pallets that had built up over time. The pile was about ten feet high. The other guy that was helping got a big ole five gallon bucket full of gas and commenced to pouring it all over the pile of pallets. I told him it wasn't a good idea but no he wouldn't listen. I stood back about fifty feet and watched the dude light a match and throw it over his shoulder. The match never got close to hitting the pile. I watched the fumes come out and ignite. It blew that guy about twenty feet. It blew his hat off and burnt the hair on his head and caught his shirt on fire. The boom was so loud the fire department came.

Did that with a diamond drill coring rig only it sprayed about 10 gallons before we could shut it down . Wiped every thing down and it looked like it had been waxed . As we drove into the yard the boss was chewing everyone out over the look of trucks being muddy . He told them look how clean that guy’s equipment is . After it sat for a week and the dust settled on it ;it was a sight to behold.

*leaves bucket of diesel next to the fire* lol Worked with a guy doing this and he had a hand-pump weed sprayer full of diesel that was quite effective and reasonably safe. Then there was this one guy who used gasoline to start a fire and that was interesting. He knew what he was doing but it was a bit spooky all the same. Made a heck of a boom when it lit.
