  • Think of WW1 fighter planes - plenty shot down in flames from old fashioned machine gun fire. Sooooo all it takes is some leaking fuel and a spark and BOOM. Also consider flash point of petrol - try spilling it on something really hot like manifolds or even over worked brakes. Again BOOM. Of course tracer really helps…
