Thats sounds like the right thing to do. Honestly though I still think I'd try my thing first, because the cut off would keep more gas from adding to the fire but I'd rather not let whats in the tank just burn up and possibly/probably burn my car down while I wait for the fire department to show up. If it ever happens the video will likely be posted in this thread with quotes.

Did we watch the same video? Trying to jam the gas cap on would mean removing the nozzle from the car, which is the one thing you should never do, because THIS happens

The fact that you guys are having an involved discussion about what to do if this happens to you would seem to indicate that you think there's a less than zero chance that you'll hold an open flame to your gas tank some day.

Here's my tip: don't do that.

Your gas tank can contain the fire. Your car will not burn down. Car fuel can't melt steel tanks.

Plus even if the nozzle isn't pumping, it's still going to be covered in flaming petrol which you'll drip over your car and cause damage to the outside and/or your shoes.

There are plastic fuel tanks and even steel tanks have a lot of plastic in and around them.

What about fire extinguishers?

Snow? Only works in cold countries. Maybe some sort of link to a large supply of water, maybe managed by a local municipality. And put a flexible conduit on the linking point?

I'm very confused because she does that deliberately, then looks surprised it's happened.

She couldn't see if the gas tank was full (being Russian they may have had lovely pumps without an automatic cutoff) and decided to hold a lighter to see inside, having forgotten that gasoline lets off fumes that are way easier to set on fire than the liquid itself.

Pretty sure the metal just froze together and that was her attempt to "thaw" it.

With this pricing Oculus became the joke of the year. I wrote here that the free controller will cost much, but You did not believe me commenters. Haha. Anyway, If You want the Rift feeling for 5 dollars, use Google cardboard and download the TrinusVR lite app for Android or idiotPhone. Connect Your phone to Your PC and get the motion sickness in 2 minutes. I wanted to buy a Rift, but I will wait for it 2 years. 2 years, 1/3 price and zero bugs. Well played Oculus, You became the same company as the others.


Edit: There's a lot of angst in that Facebook announcement comments.

The Minecraft demographic and people being able to spend +$1000 on new hardware and Rifts has to overlap somewhere.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

The actual reality of game design is that the standard "you are a camera on a model walking around a level" causes motion sickness in VR. Most games that tuned toward VR have the player character sitting in a car/fighter cockpit, so as to avoid motion sickness.

Consequently, you're literally spending 600 bucks for gaming system that will only enjoyably play racing games.
