And there was much rejoicing in the land.... Gas Prices

Well the old flip phones were a problem. Today's sealed units aren't near as bad but a phone call to your cell is a form of electricity. In hot dry conditions it does not take much. And a huge fuel spill will allow your car to run with no ignition if there is a bunch of vapors. It will runaway until the vapors are gone or it blows up or you stick a rag in the intake.

This is my new all-time favorite post.

You do realize this is 2014 and cars are fuel injected, right?

Ok so start your car get 3 or 4 cans of start spray. Engine running hit the intake with ether. Keep spraying it in there now go turn the ignition off while you continue to spray fuel into the intake. What will happen. What happens when a turbo seal goes out on a diesel? That motor will burn every last drop of oil it doesn't care about ignition

Gee I wasn't aware you could fill your car with Ether at the local gas station now! Holy shit!

Hypothetical scenario! A diesel can runaway on vapor so the question is can a gas engine do the same with no ignition?

The car would die if it is a pcm controlled ignition/plugs.

Diesels use compression combustion, gas engines use a spark. i don't believe a gas enigne would run away easily without ignition, but i could be wrong.
