    I think you're right. If he were to slam on his brakes wouldn't the leaking fuel splash ahead of him?

    Good heavens, that's more than a couple hundred feet. More like a 1/4 mile. Driver probably thinking, I can drive through this.:biggrin_25513:

    The good news - as this was Mexico, the clean up was completed 4 seconds after the fire ceased.
    No suits and boots and .5 million dollar enviro remediation US style.
