Tumbleweed Whenever you think of the Wild West of America, you think of cowboy movies and tumbleweed, perpetually tumbling around a desolate landscape. According to the American movies, tumbleweed is as American as apple pie.
3 Answers. , I am a serious student of all questions relating to the environment. Gasoline can be ignited by even a tiny spark at temperatures as low as fifty below zero, but it merely evaporates at temperatures up to about four hundred seventy five to five hundred F. At that temperature, it ignites spontaneously.
Best Answer: The liquid gasoline is not combustible - it's the fumes that may ignite. When it is hotter, gasoline produces more fumes and if there is a spark it can go off (and gas doesn't just burn, it explodes). But it will not self-ignite without a spark. Gas should always be stored in an approved, sealed container.
