Brett, thank you for your kind words. As for the topic, there is a good Russian saying: make a fool pray, and he will split his head open (banging it against the floor), meaning that even good things can be harmful when used in a wrong way. Take good old lead paint - there is nothing wrong with lead, it just shouldn't be eaten or inhaled. In the sad state of California, as we all know from the labels, everything is dangerous and everything causes cancer... Starting fluid may cause harm if you pour yourself a pint and drink it, but is it really what people do? :-) What can be dangerous, is spraying too much, and that is exactly what common sense is used for...

What if the fire migrated to the inside of the tire?

This is what we want to happen - fluid is sprayed inside to make the fire inside. Then the air quickly expands and seals the bead. At the same time, fire consumes this air and quickly dies. Of course, if one finds a way to inject oxygen at the same time, it can keep the fire alive, but again, why would anyone do this?

If the fire is ignited and the tire is being inflated at the same time, oxygen is being pumped in the tire. Seems risky to me, but I also don’t play with fireworks.

Tires are very expensive because of inflation. Lol
