A Quick Question About Oil And The Exhaust


Best Answer JustSteve , 29 September 2013 - 09:36 AM

it's not going to catch fire! 

Get some engine oil, and a blow torch, and test for yourself how flammable it is - not very   =]

 

 

 

 

Also, the exhaust is full of carbon gasses....   which will put out a fire  :D (put a match up the exhaust)

A quick question about oil and the exhaust

My manifold is cracked at the bottom (very annoying rattle, soon to be replaced) having a look at it today, loads of oil is dripping onto it.... how flammable is oil and is it still okay to drive? Normaly i wouldn't drive it like this... but its my first day of my new job on Monday, and i cant ask for the day off on the first day :P
