    Not claiming to be a pyrotechnician, but gas doesn’t burn. Gas VAPOR burns when mixed with the proper ratio of fuel/air mixture. Too much gas is “flooded”. Or something like that. Something I learned in school but forgot.

    But I haven’t forgotten when I emptied a 12 GA shotgun shell into a glass aspirin bottle and tossed it into a campfire. Don’t try that at home.
