I've seen someone get a big surprise after putting a quart or so of
gasoline on a big pile of brush and throwing kitchen matches at it
from about as far away as you can throw a kitchen match.

I'm not sure if the bigger surprise was the great big FOOMP! or when
he went looking for his eyebrows later.  His young son and I were a
lot farther away and we still found it pretty surprising.  Of course
that was *good* gas.

But I'd suggest if you're not already experienced with mixing
campfires and gasoline, to look on You-Tube for some of the folks who
got it wrong, first.  The stuff's a lot closer to black powder than
it is to kerosine.
