Just like I won't be shooting my fuel tank to prove that one out
Works in the movies tho....

Thought it was probably the same stuff, I can vaguely remember reading something about it when the jag was launched. Who do you work for then, the Ally company, or the shell manufacturers?

If he got his crotch fried
that would imply that the phone was in his pocket, which I would count as a confined/non-ventilated area.
