Re: China - Incredibly Lucky Trucker
The hydraulic line(s) burst, sprayed fluid and ignited from a single spark of the bed coming down and Ka-BOOM !!! Excellent explosion!!!  |

Re: China - Incredibly Lucky Trucker
I was always under the impression hydraulic fluid was non-flammable.  Guess i'm wrong yet again.

Re: China - Incredibly Lucky Trucker
Hydraulic fluids for the most part are considered to be much less flammable than middle distillate fuels. Petroleum-based hydraulic fluids have high flash points, while water-based hydraulic fluids (because of their high water content) are definitely nonflammable. |

Re: China - Incredibly Lucky Trucker
No they're not generally very flammable but when they're atomized in this case from a high pressure leak the oxygen fuel mixture becomes just about right. There was a video making the rounds on YouTube and maybe on here of a trash truck that had a hydraulic leak and went up in a ball of flames. |

One level up from a dumpster fire, that is.

Re: China - Incredibly Lucky Trucker
can't say the trucker reacted real fast after that but maybe he liked watching the explosion in his sideview mirror  |

Re: China - Incredibly Lucky Trucker
