With a very healthy respect for the dangers of fire my friend.
Gasoline (petrol where I come from) is very flammable. It also evaporates very easily (the hotter the ambient temp the easier) creating very flammable vapors. This means if you use enough to get your line of fire going, you stand a good chance of getting the whoomp of vapor igniting. This area of effect, you won’t be able to see and can be all around you. So you light the trail and whoomp you hair disappears. Not the way to go.
If the can you got the fuel out of is in the path of the vapor ball then whoomp, BANG and someone gets very very nasty burns.
Tread with care grasshopper.
You don’t. And I don’t mean for safety reasons (though that’s a perfectly valid reason).
Mythbusters tested the “line of fire” before, using various different fuel. Gasoline simply isn’t that flammable unless vaporized with carburetor or fuel injector. All the “lines of fire” thing are actually done with proprietary content (mix of gasoline and (bleep bleep) and (bleep bleep)) that allow it to burn persistently in a visible flame.
So stop before you get into BIG trouble. You don’t have the knowledge to do it safely.
