Ah this puts me in mind of an experiment that was carried out in this neck of the woods some years ago now by yours truly and several others who shall remain nameless.
Picture the scene, heated discussion about the efficiency of the flimsy cooker.
Old oil can produced , top removed filled with sand, tea mugs to hand, brew can filled with obligatory match floating in the top to take away the smoke taste and tea leaves ready.
All is now ready for the addition of fuel and the application of ignition.
Another heated debate ensues about how much petrol to add.
Well it was my can and my petrol and I thought I remembered my old Dad telling me you had to make a porridge like consistency with the sand and petrol, so that’s what I did.
At this point the on lookers started to look shifty and took several paces back.
Undeterred the match was struck and thrown into the can.
Three things happened in micro second sequence, firstly there was a blinding flash, secondly the contents of the brew can hit me fair and square thirdly three voices from across the yard could be heard calling to me as if in a dream
And lo they sayeth "Pete you F$$~~~****rd,
You’re supposed to let the F~~~~ Petrol soak in you ####t"
So the moral of the story is if you like to keep your eyebrows and moustache let the petrol soak in,
It was a hell of a bang though!!!!!
