Thread: Now wheres that last round i had ?

Now to pore water on your stories, kerosene and diesel do not vaporise, ae not combustible. All the bullets I've seen explode in fireplaces( fair few over the yrs) all had split cases. But in saying that Barry Crump certainly embellished his stories to a better tale. Carry on with the paraphrasing.

Carry on with the paraphrasing.

And to pour water onto your "story", kerosene and diesel fuels most certainly do vaporise and combust.
How do you think most "jet" aircraft maintain propulsion? It's by combustion of vaporised (usually) Jet A1 fuel, which is a very specific grade of kerosene.
And diesel? The fuel is vaporised as it is injected at very high pressure into the combustion chamber.
Liquids do not burn - they must first be vaporised (converted into gaseous form) and combined with air (Oxygen) and ignited.

Here endith the lesson.
