Is it illegal to put a gas pump in the exhaust pipe?

If you went to the gas station and put the nozzle into your exhaust pipe, is that illegal? Would the car explode if you drove off?

Illegal it isn't, stupid it is.

The vehicle may backfire, (small, limited explosion) may cause other problems for the exhaust system and possibly to the engine. Like a banana in the tailpipe, sugar in the gas tank, It definitely isn't recommended.

No don't do it, that's what the tank is for. It could do major damage to your exhaust system and the mixture of gasoline and exaust can be a pretty bad mixture.

it could be considered illegal disposal of a dangerous substance. no the car wouldnt explode

No, it would not explode. It wouldn't do anything because the pipe wouldn't hold fuel, the fuel would run back out the end. Besides, even if it did, there's a few things you're missing.

Gasoline isn't explosive, it's flammable. That means it doesn't blow up, it burns.

Liquid gasoline isn't that flammable...If you pour it over a small open flame it will put the flame out, not ignite. The vapors are what's most flammable.

The exhaust at the tailpipe isn't hot enough to ignite the vapors.

The exhaust pressure at the tailpipe would just push the gas out the tailpipe and onto the ground.

You must be insane, ask a fireman?

I had to wait until Friday but the dumb question of the week has arrived.

Yes, that is where you fill your car up. Go ahead and pump it full of gas, but only YOU do that. Make sure no one else is around to see you doing it, it will give you a great boost in power.

PS. Where is your mother? Someone needs to slap her

And now we know why the unemployment rate is so high... This generation can't even function enough to work at a gas station..

How old or you and how old do you expect to get
