Subject: DONE THIS BEFORE.....IT'S FUN!!!



Southcentral WI
Take it out into the middle of an open field.....minimum 40 acres in size. Move all vehicles to the road, and all people behind the vehicles. Open all the fittings on the tank, drop in a match, run for the vehicles and watch in amazement. You'll hear a loud hissing sound as the tank sucks in air, then a sound like a shotgun going off.....tank will JUMP a good 50-70' in the air and do the same thing over and over until it's burnt out. This is why it's placed in the middle of a wide open field....nothing to harm! You'll have plenty of time to get clear of the tank before it jumps, and usually in a good 30 minutes it's done. Only other way I'd feel safe is if it's full of water before cutting, and rotating the tank as it's cut. Not sure I'd trust exhaust fumes, and I do believe my method IS NOT NAT approved, as it can possibly involve drinking a beer or several, and good observations with rowdy friends from a safe distance.
