savageskaterkid Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 http://www.wtvr.com/global/story.asp?s=8093078 This is horrible, a few people had said it may have had nitrous, due to it catching fire so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Saw that. I wondered if it was a customer's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamH Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Nitrous is NOT flammable. It's an accelerant though. If there is a small fire, nitrous will cause it to become a large fire very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yeah, judging from that picture, it looks like it's VERY possible for a small fire to start, combined with nitrous, leads to a very big nasty fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savageskaterkid Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Nitrous is NOT flammable. Oxygen+fire=big fire Nitrous=more oxygen HUGE FIRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Oxygen+fire=big fire Nitrous=more oxygen HUGE FIRE exactly. Nitrous on it's own is not flammable, BUT add it TO a fire, and it supplies the fire with a MASSIVE amount of oxygen, thus AIDING in the combustion of fuel. that's how it works in a car basically Fire+Nitrous=HUMUNGO FIRE pure oxygen isn't flammable on it's own either, but add a bit of fuel and it will make the fire huge.
