The purpose of this contract is to collect data to answer the following questions: Mode 1 Hypothesis: - Instantaneous phase change due to rapid depressurization of superheated fuel. What fuel level in the container is geysering most likely to occur? Is there a difference between plastic and metal jerry cans? Does venting or releasing pressure prior to opening prevent fuel geysers in this mode? Mode 2 Hypothesis: - The rapid contraction of fuel tank walls can expel fuel. At what pressure and fuel level, if any, can the rapid contraction of the fuel tank walls expel fuel, irrespective of the fuel temperature? If this mode of fuel geysering is possible, what amount of agitation and heating are necessary to drive such a reaction? Is there a difference between plastic and metal jerry cans in this mode? How much pressure can build up through agitation alone and does it differ with different container materials? Does venting or releasing pressure prior to opening prevent fuel geysers in this mode?
