Fire Hazard

[buttons]

Don't know if this has already been posted but if you keep hand sanitizer in your vehicle it could be a serious fire hazard. It contains high levels of alcohol and when heated by the sun it can ignite.

It will need to get to a tempature of 370- 425 degrees C to self ignite, so quite hot
The biggest problem leaving in the sun, is the alcohol will evaporate, thus diluting the effectiveness of the hand sanitiser.

...... high levels of alcohol ..........

Most Funsters motorhomes do!

Cigarette lighters will do the same if left is full hot sunlight

If kept in public spaces it also evaporates down alcoholics' throats. Some years ago Bournemouth hospital withdrew their hand sanitisers after finding the local addicts were nicking them for their alcohol fix!

I take a break from sitting next to the windows to save self combustion

The funniest thing I have ever seen explode in a car was a can of beer. This poser, all tanned and sunglasses, jumps in his sports car and cracks his next tin open. except it erupted out through the sun roof and soaked the poser and his nice shiny car. I nearly peed myself I laughed so much

Probably some time in the 80's, at work, we got the chance to buy some reduced price Ruddles County "beer spheres" (a kind of cross between a Party Seven and a Sputnik, containing about 3 gallons) as there had been a problem with some of the fill valves on them. There must have been about fifteen of us on shift that bought them. When we went out to the car park after a red hot day, one of the lad's spheres had erupted like a like a brown, hoppy Vesuvius ! It had hit the head liner and was still dripping its malty goodness all over the interior as he drove home !
