Duster

Tarver cannot get it through his head that having the air handling units
operating under the CWT when the A/C is stationary is like putting a
pressure cooker with a small amount of fuel in it, on a stove at low
heat.

There have been several incidents world wide where Boeing A/C of various
models have exploded sitting at gates, on ramps, taxing out, or shortly
after take off after sitting with the air handling units running under ~
empty CWT's.

There are now "Air Safety Directives" stipulating/requiring certain
operating protocols to minimize this hazard associated with the "Boeing
CWT
Design Philosophy".

All very true.

I was nevertheless disappointed as a pyromaniac kid, that placing a closed
paint can 1/4 full of petrol / gasoline over a camp stove *didn't* result
in
the conflagration I was hoping for !

You left/put to much in the can.

You want a show. Put 1 cap full of gasoline/petrol in a dry standard 2 liter
bottle, put the lid on, put it in the middle of a 55 gallon "Burn Barrel"
filled with loose News paper. Light the News paper, stand way back.

Just the closed bottle itself exploding has been known to scatter burning
paper some distance. Adding a "Cap full of Petrol/Gasoline" to the bottle,
depending on exact direction of explosive failure within the barrel, has
been know to turn the barrel over/roll it around.

Caution have a water hose handy to deal with "Grass Fires" resulting from
the scattered burning paper. Don't try this where burning paper will land on
building roofs, or drift into areas conducive of "Wild Fires". Expect
burning paper to be blown as much as 100' in the air depending on proper
placement of paper in barrel before lighting the fire.
