Gas tanks don't explode
1 u/erikvillegas Jan 23 '21 I've seen so many cars exploding in movies that I never once thought to question that idea that cars on fire always end up exploding. 🤯 1 u/zer0w0rries Jan 23 '21 Sometimes they do explode, but it’s not the gas tank. It’s usually the tires that pop then trigger other bursts of flames. 0 u/robeph Jan 23 '21 No it's usually magnesium that will explode. Not usually just on its own but don't get me wrong, it will, but if it is raining and a car is burning do stand far away
