“I think Sandy Burger has already concluded that it was a spark in a fully loaded fuel tank.”

An engineer from my parents’ generation told me one that all transportation fuel including the volatile fuel used in piston aircraft has volatility characteristics such that a mixture of fuel and air above the fuel in a tank will not ignite.
