[QUOTE="CreviceSucker, post: 529775, member: 1804"] Aluminium melts at 660 Celsius. Petrol will convert to volatile vapour at around 63 celcius so if you have a petrol pump you need to keep it cool with wetted or insulated covering or it may cease working due to fuel vapourlock. Diesel pumps are much better , they may cope with up to 95.6 celcius. During an ember attack anyone attempting to refill the tank on a petrol pump will become an inferno :( [/QUOTE]
