What is a flash point?
It is the lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid can receive an ignition source and be ignitable. However, once the ignition source is removed, the flammable nature may cease and the flame stop. At temperatures slightly higher, it is when an ignition source is introduced and the ignition source is removed that the flammable liquid continues to burn regardless of the ignition source. The lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid (e.g. gasoline) becomes capable of catching fire in the air. The correct term applied to non-liquids is the autoignition temperature or kindling point.
Why doesn't the gas in a car's gas tank explode when the gas cap is removed?
Gas does not spontaneously explode. There has to be an ignition source, as when lighting a fire. The ignition source would have to be a spark from a fire. Gasoline in itself is not an explosive device that when agitated will explode. The myth that gasoline explodes upon agitation is false, and gas only explodes when it is ignited in some sort of way by a fire, or constant source of extreme heat.

Gasoline does not ignite. The fumes from gasoline are what ignites. They will ignite at any temperature.

Ignition Temp -40 both of the above require an external source of ignition. Then ..... 3.) Auto Ignition Temp 246--280 °C (475--536 °F) Is the answer for what temp it will ignite on it's own without external 'spark'. I leaned heavily on Wikipedia for source material
