Default Fuels comparisons video

This is a short video on the different fuels we use, since we burne some of these fuels, I thought it will be benefial to some of us to learn a bit about them.

Enjoy

That’s what I thought. I would have bet that the 100L and gasoline would have exploded. So, learned something.

I had the same thoughts on the one with gasoline, after doing some thinking, now I think, it would have explored only if it had been in a container with a small opening.

Watch Uncle Rob's videos on you tube for the beat show how gasoline explodes

Everything did exactly what I expected it to do.

Then again I worked with fuels in the Navy which is why i prefer Jet-A over diesel in my turbines and 100LL in my gas planes.

It's a shame no reference to specific gravity was discussed , BTU Vs LEL of each substance would have also been nice -
But overall .....entertaining

Yep! Not the voice I would expect.

I kind of like the vid because he doesn't get into complicate verbiage.

Very entertaining, as expressed above, I couldn't wait to see one of the glasses exploding on his face, I'm still waiting Oh well, disappointed.

I just think that it is terrible how younger generations will risk burning his face off to become so called famous and craving this kind of attention. Of course, if he did burn his face off, he would become famous for 15 minutes for being the moron that burned his face off with mason jars full of different fuels and a blow torch. Everyone on YouTube post for money hoping that they don’t have to work. Not sure how much YouTube pays, but think that it takes a lot of viewers to make a penny.

Not to go too dip into it but, according to the numbers he has made between $13K to $22K in 5 1/2 years.
