[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1077147, member: 19880"] Gasoline is a mixture of a large number of hydrocarbon compounds. It has a boiling range that starts as low as 90-95 °F and the boiling point will rise to something like 400 °F as the more volatile components go off. Under the pressure of the tank, the boiling point rises (higher BP at higher pressure). When the pressure is released (and the fuel temperature is greater than the BP), it will certainly boil and possibly erupt. No question that the temperature of the gasoline will exceed the BP on a warm day; especially on a Gen I without an added heat blanket. [/QUOTE]
