    The motor will get very hot.! Gasoline has a flash point of -45°F and an auto-ignition temperature of 536°F.Dec 11, 2014

    The motor would be a lump of molten metal long before the pump got that hot.

    All these years, and I thought gasoline was potentially dangerous. And now I find out that it’s not. Good to know.

    Long live American manufacturing!
