fire ants in the wood pile ! - now 'explodeing gaseoline'...

Atomized...In the combustion Chamber of an 'Internal
Combustion' Engine...and compressed, there is the
'explosion' of sorts, and it may be a 'good thing'...indeed,
unless one wants to push one's Car...

Unless confined, and having within some range of adequate
Oxygen...and not too much OF the 'Gas'eous of the
Gaseoline...

In the open Air, there is no liklihood of any
'explosion'...unless, on a still day, one may Atomise and
disperse it in some really big way...and at about the
'right' concentration...and even then, what
you'd get...is a big 'whoosh'...of sorts...
