Looks like someone was a little late for their oil change.

if he only had a little fuel in his oil that wouldn‘t happen.

As long as there is liquid in the can, the can is sealed and the boiling of the liquid does not exceed the pressure capacity of the vessel the fire will do nothing outside of catching carbon from the flames over to it.

In case of gas, when it ruptures it explodes on contact with air (as the pressurized boiling gas is already above the flame point of the solution).

Additionally there is possibility that any air in the vessel, with the evaporated gas, may cause internal explosion in the vessel. This can be prevented by filling the vessel with iron wool. In case of non-flammable liquid you can just use it to boil water.



Gas is also used as a coolant in car and rocket engines

I would love to know what actually caused that to happen.

Coolant leaking to oil.

 

[KNI]

Sorry..

Another winner!

Looks like this guy forgot his power adapter and had to make his own.

Coolant leaking to oil.

I've always seen that as creating a milkshake like liquid - I've never seen it gel like that.

You need slow and long leak for that to happen. Slow enough that the water in the coolant/anti-freeze mix get's vaporized without you noticing a billowing white cloud behind you and then the antifreeze chemically bonds with the oil making this gelatin-ish substance.

Too much water and you get the milkshake.

Honesty think it was a YouTube clicks video. No way oil will coagulate like that without residue. That engine was flushed before they added some compound that’s activated by heat. They sacrificed an engine just for laughs

Interesting - I've had two instances where I've had coolant in anti freeze but those were both catastrophic failures (one was a hole punched in the head itself and one was a head gasket failure).

Possibly, but I found this interesting thread that talks about the issue:

Maybe he should've check the thickness first? ?

 

[AzScorpion]

Another good candidate.

At least he's wearing a mask. ?

 

[Trigganometry]

Another to add… Pretty sure that’s a Ford under there… ?
