Shortly after our second child was born, the midwife paid a visit and arrived distressed as there was a cat lying in the road having been hit by a car. I got our cat carrier and went to take the cat to the vet, only to find that a passing health visitor and a passing ambulance had now stopped (we live very near the hospital) and they ambulance crew were giving oxygen! I got the cat to the vet and it survived and recovered. We still receive Christmas cards from the owner each year.

The best way to get a correct answer is to wait for den's reply. The opposite of den's reply will be correct.
You too, huh?
It's a fact.
Indeed. The container need st be filled with something inert such as water or soil. A small mount of fumes inside is far more of an explosion risk than if it had still been filled with diesel.
I guess having the weight of the water gave it extra stability too. Was it petrol powered? Wouldn't it be a concern to get water on/in an electric angle grinder?
Sorry, I've just replied to the other thread. I was thinking that too: that kerosene was more like diesel than petrol.
