I want to make an exhaust flame thrower using a 2 lbs bottle of propane as fuel to the exhaust pipe. OK or NO?

Question

Will the fire creap up the hose to the tank or is it OK. My plan was to use a soldering type nozzle and remove the tip and attach a hose in its place. My vehicle is an efi so no excess unburnt fuel.

Answer 1

If you plan to use the same size tanks that are on most home BBQ's remember that they hold approx 4.8 gallons of liquid when properly filled.  Each gallon of Propane is equal to about 7 sticks of TNT so you will have about 70 sticks of TNT in your trunk.  If you feel safe with this in your trunk you have my blessings and happy landings.

Answer 2

Not exactly the smartest thing you/ve ever considered doing...*duh* If you want the flame thrower then do it the old fashioned way with gasoline and spark plugs.

Answer 3

ILLEGAL!

Answer 4

Too dangerous just by the cheaper kit for around $49.95 it will do the same but remember that this is illegal in all states....

Answer 5

I would suggest that you move to a third world country, so that you will find some more meaningful method of survival.....

or if you are indeed into pyrotechnical displays, join the military and make it count.......
