fire yes.... lipo fire NO...

gasoline, diesel, motor spray, cleaning fluids.. WD40, tire compound, glues, lighting cigarettes,

cell phone fires... child riding cars... computer fires. hand scanners at stores.. not likely.

a very long time ago.. I was removing a car gas tank.. the seam split.. I was covered from head to toe. at a gas station/garage.. nothing happened.. I took proper procedures not to catch on fire..

I lived... and returned to work the next day..

I would be more careful.. handling 110 octane racing fuel.. then a possible lipo fire.

I guess some might not read threads... just post onto them..
