Dont take my word for it. Antedoctally, this question was asked on quora and here are some responses: "I’ve seen this happen. We were at a fire safety lecture/demonstration when I was a kid, on a caravan holiday. Obviously fire safety is pretty important when you’re living in a 14-foot wooden box. The guy running it (a firefighter) lit a match and threw it in a tray of gasoline. We all thought it was going to go WOOF, but it just plopped into the tray and went out. Did it a couple more times to make the point. He had to hold the match to the tray for something like a second before it ignited, and then he showed us the right way to use a fire extinguisher on the (now very much alight) tray of gas. Note that this was in a field, though, and not on a warm day (about 50F, I guess). The gasoline vapor was dissipating faster than it was being created. If you do this in in enclosed space (especially in a nice warm house), the vapor builds up fast, and (speaking from somewhat alarming experience) you get very different results." Another person writes: "My power shop teacher did this exact thing in class everyone in the room except me jumped to run for the door the only reason i did not was because i did not think the teacher would ever put us in danger to answer your question you can thow a lit one into a bucket of gas and it will not ignite 1. To ignite a fuel you must hold a flame or spark 2.the fuel air ratio must be close..." Somebody writes: "In most typical cases, with a full bucket, no it won't light because you need sufficient oxidant with the fuel, and in just the right mixture. Below the lower bound concentration (called LFL - lower flammability limit), there isn't enough fuel in the air to enable self-supporting combustion, with any ignition source. Above the upper limit, there isn't enough oxygen. Between, you get combustion, but only with enough ignition energy. A spark of sufficient size will do, but generally an open flame will always work. How long it burns depends on availability of new oxygen and new fuel vapour. So on a cold day, I expect the match to go out quickly as it has a very narrow window of vapour above the surface (as vapour pressure is low at low temperature) at the right concentration to burn, and the cold liquid will immediately extinguish the flame. A hot day would change this." Another guy writes: "It depends on a lot of factors. As others point out, liquid doesn't burn. Once a match is underneath the liquid, it will go out, because there's not oxygen there to keep it burning. What ignites is the gasoline vapors, which have to be mixed with air in the right proportion. Too much gasoline and not enough air, and the flame will be smothered. Too much air and not enough gasoline, and a flame can't be sustained. In order to ignite, you need the mix to be in just the right range." Source: https://www.quora.com/Can-you-ignite-liquid-gasoline-using-a-match Here is a video of a guy lighting jet fuel, diesel, and other fuel on fire, after enclosing fuel in mason jars, and thus creating a lot of vapor (trapped along the wall of the jar): https://yewtu.be/watch?v=7nL10C7FSbE Surprising, isn't it? This is why fuel injectors atomize fuel before the spark ignites it https://i2.wp.com/studentlesson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/fuel-injector-in-automobile-engine.jpg Long story short. The guy in truck bed of fuel. Not very dangerous. You would have to maliciously set it on fire with a torch, and even then, there be no explosion. It would just turn into a bed of toasty fire to roast marshmallows (or put out with a fire extinguisher). The comment replies above are from knee jerk reactionaries who have no experience in the real world. And, like you, unfortunately, probably suck dick for a living.

Did you read my comment? I just informed you that I've been there, done that. Tell me. Do you suck dick for a living or just in your spare time?
