You need to go back and take some more automotive classes. As common sense would have it, anything that goes into an internal combustion engine is going to burn. However, the NOS that caused the Eclipse to explode was not the Nitrous Oxide left in the tank. Liquid Nitrous Oxide is not flammable. However, once the nitrous oxide leaves the the tank it is in the gaseous state and then becomes HIGHLY flammable. The Eclipse exploding was caused by the ignition of the excess oxygen left in the car. Thank you and goodbye.
