I knew a kid in high school who would love to shock newbies by tossing his lit cigarette butts into the pans of gas we used to clean our engines. Hollywood props need to use a spark devise to ignite their “cigarette ignition” scenes.Why they (hollywood) perpetuate this myth is for drama and relies on an ignorant public perception to carry it off.

Since Utah is discouraging mikosng with the tax hike, Salt Lake City International Airport needs to follow the lead and close the mikosng rooms on all of their concourses. It is a terrible example to children who I observed standing in front of mikosng room with no doors and supports special concessions to people who smoke that are unacceptable other places in Utaha and around the nation.

The cylinder has a lot of compression so that affects the flashpoint.

Tin man/Aluminum paint myth:

Try it out on someone with a metal allergy to see if it’s plausible. It would make a huge difference. I’m allergic to all metals except titanium, white gold and sterling silver. I bet if I was covered in it, I would have a huge reaction!

Ok Lewis before we say that naked flame is the only thing that can ignite gas how does your car run. You think that you built in lighters in your cylinder? No you have a SPARK plug that does nothing more than cause an eletric spark which causes combustion. Rick is indeed correct if a cigarette lands in a pool than more than likley the cigarrete will go out because when the cigarrete is completly submerged you take away the air which is one of the three ingridients required to create fire. Do not fool yourself gasoline is very dangerous. It is possible to smoke a cigarrete at the pump even light it but you stick the cigarrete in the fumes or the lighter in the fumes all you need is the right amount of oxygen and you have fire. Remember you can not start a fire without fuel, heat and air. (Basic high school level chemistry:)

Sometimes.
I’ve heard that sound before and a bullet (or even a firearm, for that matter) was not needed to create it.
This is an effect of acoustics and is really an echo being reflected back at you in such a way, so as to enhance certain sonic frequencies.
However, to answer your question, yes, a bullet fired from a gun can sometimes create that sound.
