Why vapours of flammable substances pose such a serious hazard?

It is not the flammable liquid that ignites, but the vapors (or vapours for our British cousins) that ignite. Vapor can travel a considerable distance from the liquid to an unforeseen source of ignition, and flash back when ignited. They can fill a large area, with a resulting LARGE fire when ignited. The distinction between flammable and combustible is the "flash point" the temperature at which the liquid gives off an ignitable vapor- flammables have a flash point below 100 degrees F. Many flammable liquid vapors are heavier than air, and can settle into the bilges of a boat, awaiting ignition.


Is spilled gasoline dangerous in a house?

Dangerous flammable vapors are released in your home or garage every time there is a spill, or when the container of gasoline or other flammable liquid is not properly sealed. The silent, invisible vapors can travel, and if these vapors reach a source of ignition, like a faulty electric outlet, the spark from a running motor, or the pilot light of a home appliance, the vapors can ignite...and blow you clean out of the house.
