Explaining the cause of the fire, he said, “according to the passengers and crew the fire was as a result of fuel crisis. I was informed that the hovercraft ran out of fuel and small boats were dispatched ashore to get fuel to refill it.”
The fuel was then offloaded with buckets to refill the hovercraft’s tank and “during that process something ignited the fuel which set the hovercraft ablaze,” he said.
How can you ignite Diesel not under compression and at normal temperature? I bet they were putting gasoline in a Diesel craft on top of all the other abuses.

Very difficult without something else to burn like rags or paper etc. I've welded on full diesel tanks and over open pools of diesel with sparks and drips falling into it.No problems.

As seen in Claremont, CA yesterday









As taken on my cell phone. It was in stunning condition. Plus, the guy who owned it was Italian and good looking - some guys have all the luck!
