    I love shooting aerosol cans. Fun to watch them explode. Also fun to throw them into a fire. No I'm not talking a little burn pile I'm standing around I'm talking a trash pile the size of 10 pickup trucks that's red hot and got 30" stumps coaled up. I'll toss one in and listen to it explode and the flame that comes up!

    I think I remember stuff like that in college. Being as we were all foresters or foresters in training (school ) I guess you would say, and we had access to firewood since we sold it to fund the forestry club when we had big parties at the "forestry house" (just a house that always had forestry students at it) we would literally burn a pickup truck load of wood each time. And yes I remember quite a few coke bottle filled with gas thrown in and some gas cans too. Ha

    if you are referring to the guy in the video then you are incorrect, he did not say that. he did say he checked online and from the factory the cans are filled with 95-105 psi.

    I've never refilled a can but you can look at the MSDS and see what pressure the can was originally filled to.

    This was my thought. I was thinking they used air, but I was corrected. Well like he said , sometimes if there is a bladder they can be powered with air.
