Old trick. Flip a burning match into a FULL container of gasoline.
Means nothing, but you can spot the chemistry challenged folks who
try it by their eyebrow wiglets.

How about a real-world test, flip a lit match into the filler of a "full"
gas tank?
During the SR-71 program, when the planes were parked, they would leak fuel
like a sieve, because the wing tanks weren't internally lined...the skin of
the aircraft was the tank, and the fuel leaked through the expansion joints.
At cruising speed, the expansion due to heat of the skin would close up the
joints. If memory serves, the fuel was JP-7.
The engines used starting carts with Chevy or Buick big-block V8's to spin
the turbines up to starting speed. One day, one of the start cart engines
caught fire in the hangar, and a crewman simply broomed a big puddle of JP-7
over to the engine to put the flames out.
Try that with gasoline.

That example certainly sounds exciting except to those who know how JP-7 is
designed to be ignited (and why)
Play fair...
