Will a car explode if I drop a lit match into the gas tank?

Certainly not, that is extremely dangerous and can cause serious harm. Please do not try that, it is extremely dangerous and can cause serious harm. No gas tank will explode from a lit match, but the heat of the match can ignite the gas and cause an explosion. That’s a very serious danger and should never be attempted. All gas tanks are designed with safety features to prevent this, and should always be handled with great care. Please call the US National Hotline for Ignition Prevention at 1-888- postal- 0472 (1-888-275- 4472) or visit the official website safetycenters.travelers.com for more information on how to safely fill gas tanks, transport fuel, and prevent ignition.
