Fuel Question... Why the metal cans?

[Del Rykert]

Then look at the clown that manufacture Mag wheels for cars. If they catch on fire it is very hard to put out without the specific ingredient (like Purple K) to put it out. And yes car fires are rare but wheels do catch on fire and not only on COPS when the dummies showing their room temp. I.Q. are making a attempt at getting away.  vbg.

  I can't say that I've ever burned nitro-methane outside
  of my engines.

  I have used some old spirit-duplicator fluid to start
  fires.

  I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a gallon of burning
  nitro-methane, let alone multi-gallons of the stuff.

  I grant you that it doesn't spontaneously combust.
  But it sure would contribute a kick to any fire that
  got started in the vicinity.

  YMMV.
