Nitro fuel is dangerous

[telboy]

Was watching the local news earlier and heard a story about 5 kids being seriously injured after the 'model car fuel' they were using to start a fire, exploded!!!

This is the sort of action that will end Nitro racing in the UK.
Any more smart action like this and the health and safety will start getting silly all over our asses!!

Personally, I think it serves them right for being so dumb in the first place!

I lit a BBQ with 25% Byrons once. It melted the BBQ and set fire to the next door neighbours fence!

But then I've got a masters in chemistry and work as a science teacher........

I know somebody singed his eyebrows burning off some old 'dead' fuel.

bout right!

But it only takes a few more idiotic kids messing around like this again for the authorities to question why/how the kids got hold of the fuel.
Then the next thing you know, we'll all need a licence to buy it.


.....maybe thats a good Idea! To buy nitro fuel you must have a brca lisence or some sort of insurance?

Still, it the usual case of some idiots spoiling it for the rest of us.
