Ho ju Moderator	posted December 29, 1999 10:54 PM If you confined gasoline in, say, a pipe with one end cap on it and rammed another pipe down the opening (assuming the the two pipes were farily flush) so that you applied alot of pressure to the gasoline and compressed it, would the gasonline inside the pipe explode, or not? also if so, how many PSI is need to make gasoline do this? ------------------ -Knowledge is power, power leads to corruption, corruption is a crime, crime doesn't pay.

Fjp92 Frequent Poster	posted December 30, 1999 12:08 AM I dont think gasoline will explode. But dissel sould if it is in its fapour form and compressed high enough. That is how dissel engins work if im not mistaken, the fuel ignites bu it self when it is compressed by the piston.
HMTD Factory Frequent Poster	posted December 30, 1999 12:40 AM Well petrollium itself is formed under ground under heat and pressure so I would say it won't explode. But acetylene gas will explode when compressed, the acetylene gas cylinder you see actually just dissolve acetylene gas in acetone, they can't compress it.

Blaze Frequent Poster	posted December 30, 1999 07:00 AM petrol as with any other fuel that isnt an "explosive" needs oxygen to explode.. diesel engines work by compressing air so fast as to reach the ignition point of the fuel hence igniting it, try pouring some diesel into the chamber of an air rifle .. heh heh ... good stuff...
Ho ju Moderator	posted December 30, 1999 12:30 PM i do not know about pouring it into the chamber but if you put a drop of diseal behind the pellet and shoot it, you get some cool shit going on. faster pellet, bigger bang and some smoke the only downfall is that, given time it will wreck the inside of the gun, mainly the pressure chamber, or more specificly the o-rings that seal it) ------------------ -Knowledge is power, power leads to corruption, corruption is a crime, crime doesn't pay.
