Typically the gas will not explode but it can burn for some time but will burn off quickly fren. I am a mechanic also. Rmemeber fren thanks to the EPA these systems are sealed and every so often the evap system will open to burn off excess vapors. Cars will not typically explode when on fire, there maybe a flash for a second or two but will resume in just burning. You can throw a match into a bucket of gas and actually have it put the match out because it is the vapor that actually burns/ignites do you remember when consumer reports got caught using a device to ignite the fuel in the old chevy trucks that had the gas tank on the outside of the frame rails?
Yeah but there are no signs of vehicles exploding. Just burning. Weird hu?
