How do figure that diesel is more combustible than gas? The ignition temp alone is around 500 degrees. Most combustible liquids are at it most dangerous state when it is being atomized/sprayed.

 

I want to see the answer on that as well.

 

 

Look for an expedition supply company on your side of the world. The unlimited has enough area under the chassis I think for an extra tank, which can be protected with a modified stock skidplate. Anyone who's used to fitting Nissan, Toyota, or LR Defenders for remote work should have access to a supply of nice aluminum or stainless tanks with the proper baffles, switches, and fuel-necks to set it up right.

If you want, the Aussies have a ready-made unit that's designed for the JK Unlimited. You can find it here:

A friend of mine has an auxiliary tank fitted to a diesel Defender 110 and has the ability to switch back and forth between the main and aux tanks. It's a good setup to have for remote trips.

 

Gasoline is only more flammable, not more combustible. There's a big difference.

 

Now that i agree with. Was not trying to argue with ya we are all jeepers here.

 

If you go back and look, that WAS my original statement. ...and you seemed to disagree the first time. I'll tell you something you may not know. A LOT of anti freeze is more combustible than gasoline. Don't take my word for it. Next time you're in Wal Mart, read the bottom of the jug. Now, SOME anti freeze compounds are being "greened up", so you may have to look to find it. It will probably be the cheaper brand. I have seen anti freeze cause a fire you would NOT believe. Any of it that is ethylene glycol based will go BOOM!! Vehicles are just something you do NOT wanna be playin around. That is why I am disabled now. Because someone was horsing around in the shop and I was seriously injured by an explosion that was a "practical joke". Oh, and I wasn't arguin either. Just enjoyin the conversation.

 

Just confusion on my part then. And yes antifreeze is no joke either but most people don't know that. Hey I have some family out your way in GA. they lived in conyers. Forgot to mention that in my last post.

 

Cool. Conyers is a nice place. Probably around 80 or so miles away.

 

get two cups fill one up with gas fill the other with diesel take a lighted match put it in the gas poof it lights, now take another one after complety extinguishing the flames with the fire extinguisher that was placed next to you incase of any emergency (SAFETY FIRST AS ALWAYS) and toss it in the diesel Phhhhtttttt poof the match goes out. The thought of lighting a puddle of gas with a cigarette well yeah thats a myth too... better yet instead of using cups pour a small bit on the sidewalk or drive way unless it is tarred then it wouldn't be a great idea. Well you get the point now. I guess,hope just be safe in doing the expierement.
