An experiment I tried when I was younger proved that point about hte match in the gas tank thing all together.
Picture this:
14 yr old
Bucket
Petrol inside bucket, to about 1/4 full (not a HUGE bucket)
Match
Lights match, drops inside bucket.
No bang, nothing. Hardly even a flame on the top of the petrol.
All that really happened was the top layer of fuel on the miniscus was burning, but not particularly rapidly either..
Petrol is only dangerous when you airate it. IE, spread it all OVER the place to light a bon fire.
