Why do cars burn on having a great fall?

Question

mostly when they collaspe

Answer 1

Because of ignition And all the part of the cars comes on pressure so that's why the petrol get blast.

Answer 2

Actually they rarely catch fire on a fall. The gas tank would have to rupture and being at the back of the car when it hits is rarely broken open. Movies like to show cars blowing up when they fall but this is a rigged explosion and not common in the real world.

Answer 3

it doesnt!  they just show that in movies!!

Answer 4

When a vehicle falls from a height, there will be much damaged done to the fuel tanks, the connection of the fuel tank to engine gets disconnected and the fuel will be leaking.

When the vehicle falls on the ground, already the vehicle stinks with fuel and the combustion caused by the fall of the vehicle from heights create fire.

But the situation of car getting burnt from great falls is mere 2%.

Answer 5

in car on falling from a height their carbonator get destroyed and oil in it start leaking, and this oil catch fire due to present of oxygen in air and also due tohot engine...........

Answer 6

You are talking about movies my friend, in practial such accidents, it never catches fire. Even if it does, the chances are 1 out of 1000 as such.
