jetz0r posted:It completely works as napalm, it sticks to anything and burns. But lacks the self igniting properties that military napalm has. Napalm isn't self-igniting, period. The original mixture was gasoline and an aluminum soap of napthenic and palmitic acids as a gelling agent (hence the name, which became a trade name for the powdered gelling agent). The current formulation uses polystyrene and benzene for the gelling agent. So yeah, homemade napalm with gasoline and styrofoam is pretty much exactly the same as the modern military napalm. It's not self-igniting. The more polystyrene you add, the harder it actually is to ignite, this is seen as an advantage in the military because unplanned fires are unappreciated. You might be thinking of white phosphorus munitions, because white phosphorus does ignite on contact with the air.

An uncle of a friend of mine blew himself up trying to weld a fitting to an old gas tank to make a pressure tank for an air compressor. He was killed instantly. I don't understand how it's possible, but no amount of rinsing will make a fuel tank safe to weld. I was always told that, if you were going to weld or braze a fuel tank, to fill it to the brim with water first. I'd never risk it myself.

I think the actual approved method is to fill it with a heavier than air inert gas. The reason rinsing doesn't work is that it doesn't remove the film of gas/fuel on the surface of the tank interior which is enough to cause vapors. It's the air/vapor mix that's explosive as hell.

I've had to do it a couple times at work myself, and some of my coworkers looked at me like I was a crazy man for putting my safety ahead of some job. Some of the things these guys are willing to do for the peanuts they get paid are insane, I've seen people work on live circuits, climb ladders behind heavy condensers being pulled up on a rope, and seeing someone work off the very top of a ladder happens so often it's crazy we've only had one person fall off a ladder in the time I have been here.

Kind of a side effect of our insane work philosophy. Being told from a young age that being proactive and doing anything and everything asked with zero question or delay will get you fast-tracked to the top leads to that kind of thing. As opposed to the reality that there is no upward momentum period.

Yeah, Junior workers have neither the experience to recognize nor the authority to resist being put in unsafe and needlessly dangerous situations, which is exactly why you need watchdog orgs like OSHA/Unions to protect their interests. Then there is the psychological effect (who's name I forget) where having gone through an arduous and unfair experience, even if it is ultimately detrimental, causes you to subconsciously object to it less when it happens to others in the future (eg hazing) leading to a culture of inaction.

Amazon faces $350K fine for shipping dangerous goodsquote:Amazon faces a $350,000 fine from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration after shipping a corrosive chemical by air, in violation of federal law. It's the 25th time the company has been found to violate hazardous chemical shipping regulations in two and a half years. "Amazing Liquid Fire" is 98% sulfuric acid with a bit of detergent mixed in. I don't know what all the fuss is about. Here's the MSDS. It includes this nifty NFPA label:
