Re: What NOT to do with your empty fuel barrels
Now that is just remedial...
I have had second and third degree burns over 30% of my body let me tell you that driver has a long extremely painful road to recovery, I would rather die than go through something like that again.

Re: What NOT to do with your empty fuel barrels
The way it was described to me was: the fumes ignited and made the barrel explode with the two guys sitting on it. The liquid methanol erupted from the barrel and saturated both guys, causing them both to be engulfed in flames.
The """DRIVER"" immediately hit the dirt and waited for bystanders to put him out.
Direct quote from a witness, "the crewmember freaked and started running around like Talladega Nights and no one could catch him to put him out."
