Would running an electric current through gasoline cause it to ignite? How about shocking it (like it's a puddle on a gold floor)
>>
why not just try it? I'm sure a big enough arc will do 'er though

How would I make an electric current? Also I don't own any gasoline

Get two batteries, an electric wire, an electric tape, and a cigarette lighter.

1) Tape one batterys (+) side to the cables one end and put it on the floor
2) pull the wire like a straight line and tape the other end to far away
3) Remove the lighter top or break it to pour out the lighter fluid in a small jar
4) Put the center of the wire in the gasoline jar
5) Contact the other batterys ( - ) side to the free end of the cable

its not dangerous. worst case scenario is the gasoline jar will catch fire and/or the battery will detonate due to overheating

Gasoline is not conductive.
>>
>>8064937
So the current wouldn't travel through it and hit the conductive floor at ever and cause fire?
>>
>>8063493
I think you need a spark, a current alone wont work.
>>
>>8064942
It doesn't travel in the first place.

Liquid gasoline isn't flammable
