Neither does this substance though. It releases hydrogen when in contact with water, not explode or combust. It might, of course, explode if sparks are introduced but the same thing can happen to hydrocarbon based fuels.
In any case, what a substance does when rained on is not very relevant for a fuel that is kept in a fuel tank at all times. By the time it's exposed to the weather, the vehicle must have crashed and in such a circumstance most safety guarantees are out of the window anyway.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoNo hydrocarbon fuels aren't oxygenated. Put a spark plug in your gas tank, run it day and night - nothing. Has to be oxygen in there.
- WJW 6y agoThe same happens in a pure hydrogen atmosphere? Not sure what you are trying to convey here.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoSorry, that comment about a spark being a problem prompted my comment. I must have misunderstood.
