I'm not sure, but I think it actually was the car that burnt which was leaking the fuel. There's no burning liquid trail from the fire shooting car to that puddle.
If so, I don't think I'd blame the guy shooting flames. I'd be more annoyed at myself if it was my car.
There was definitely a trail that led right to the puddle from his exhaust, maybe most of the trail’s liquid gassed off after the puddle was formed? It just looks like the flames didn’t go anywhere else except from his exhaust to the puddle so it probably wasnt random vapor floating in the air.
It’s more than likely happened because it’s been remapped by and/or for a child that chose a farting and popping exhaust sound for attention over optimal performance
He means it's tuned in such a way that unburned fuel can make its way through the exhaust.. they tune them this way so it makes atypical noises and looks"cool"
The fuel injection is electronically controlled by computer to match the rpms of the engine and the speed (or whatever). It’s based on a simple look up map of what to do at what rpm. Some people reprogram (remap) the chart to do something else at those rpms, like run lean or rich based on what they think they are doing (I’ll be going really fast at that point to gimme more gas, or whatever).
The ICE engine works by mixing fuel and air and igniting the mixture to cause an explosion. You get the safe, optimal map from the factory that defines what should be the ratio of air and fuel in the mixture. You can increase the fuel in the mixture for better performance as the factory mixture has to also take into account emission norms. So they might have reduced the fuel part although it would have been safe. But this guy ran the mixture so rich in fuel that the fuel is dripping out of his exhaust, and caught fire
There's a kid up the road from me who did this with a CBR500, I figured out I could hear his bike from my porch when he was almost 3km away. It sounded like it was dying, and I guess it finally did halfway through the summer.
that's a CO2 extinguisher. that or a compressed air can. but the idea is to hit the base of the fire really close, and smother it by displacing oxygen. idiot hit real high and far so it just fanned the flame.
I drive commercial vehicles and never seen one. Guess I should look into it
Edit: looks line the vehicle has to weigh over 10k lbs to require it. I drive ford transit 250 high roof, search says they are about 9k lbs and under the requirement even though they are RV size and I could live in one
They run the engines rich on fuel on purpose to cause the flame thrower affect out of the exhaust. This video accurately demonstrates the risks of doing so.
I’d be so pissed if the guys car farted and burned the shit outa my car

Around 00:05 you can see gas coming out of the exhaust of car in the middle.

So... obviously *I* know what this means, but could you explain it for all the dum dums who don't speak car who definitely aren't me?
He means it's tuned in such a way that unburned fuel can make its way through the exhaust.. they tune them this way so it makes atypical noises and looks"cool"
Also removing the catalytic convertors to allow the unburnt fuel to get to the end of the exhaust as flames, and makes even more noise!
This video is my desired outcome for anyone who does this on purpose.
Fuel air mixtures are messed with electronically.

As I understand it anyway.
The ICE engine works by mixing fuel and air and igniting the mixture to cause an explosion. You get the safe, optimal map from the factory that defines what should be the ratio of air and fuel in the mixture.

Ah, well. . . the dangers of a hot sport include burning your damned car into the ground.
I know! I’ll spray this compressed air at the fire! Fire hates air right?

Did they pour gas on the ground? Why is it so combustible?
Thanks to a video I saw on Reddit of someone trapped in a burning car I now carry a fire extinguisher, but I wouldn't waste it on these fools.
Good idea. I’m putting one in my car now.
I keep two in my truck.
My dad and I were hauling hay in August and the carb on the truck caught on fire.
In a dry hay field. In August.
Scary!
“Man survives collision with tree but fire extinguisher embedded in back of head now”
Thanks for the info now I will carry a chainsaw in my car to cut the extinguisher out.
Just use the chainsaw to cut down the tree before you hit it.
You need to rig the chainsaw to swing back and forth in front of the car in case of trees
Fire extinguisher goes in the trunk. Window breaking tool stays up front.
I want to know if the car who farted paid for this
Pretty sure you know the answer to this
Those cars look ridiculous
Why did he just randomly fall down?
Because he was using a canister of highly pressurized gas to try and blow out the flames, not a fire extinguisher.
Edit: the force of the gas coming out knocked him over.
Ah, thanks for the explanation!
Only cars I've ever seen to carry a fire extinguisher are the offroad types prepped for everything
In America all commercial vehicles are required to have one.

What’s that tube laying behind the cars?
I see this things happen so often, one would think people would start bringing fire extinguisher to car meets
But they don't add horsepower.
But it'll stop the destruction of horsepower
Thats the car version of a shart. 🤣
Not enough popcorn for this shit
How much fuel is there ln the ground? How does it burn that long?
He really should have sprayed it down low
It’s just something about this crowd that doesn’t scream safety.
spent all the money to make the car look like that abomination, and not enough money to buy fire extinguisher. oh well. good luck next time.
burn, baby, burn
Everyone talking about the lack of a fire extinguisher, but nobody notices the lack of reaction to move their cars away, specially the one on fire
They run the engines rich on fuel on purpose to cause the flame thrower affect out of the exhaust. This video accurately demonstrates the risks of doing so.
Normal cars don’t need extinguishers. Funny cars should have multiple.
And nothing of value was lost for society, in fact collectively society benefited.
Where did the gas come from?
Took so long to move the other cars
Turned that car into Ghostrider's car real quick
I thought all those cars had that one attached to the front windshield pillar?
My wife calls them devil toots
It's a hatchback, nothing of value was lost.
