There are really 2 main factors in the "hazard" associated with oil and gasoline. . .   One is the ignition temperature,. . .   The other factor is the so-called "flash point" . . . Gary Casey


Thanks for the info and insight Gary.  I had never thought of oil as having a greater fire hazard under some conditions compared to  fuel. Robert M. Simon
