OMG, don't let the trueth blind you.
When it was posted that the ford f150 used Aluminum, which also contained magnesium. I asked what percentage it would need be, for magnesium to cause flammability. I got a good answer from one poster....

Has no one mentioned the motorcycles sitting in many of our garages? Anything but Harley, and holy bejeebous you have a lot of magnesium.
Does it worry me? Not in the least.
The fuel in the bikes tank, the 3-2-1/2 gallon gas cans, and the two car/suv 16 and 26 gallon tanks should create a little more worry than magnesium parts and pieces. AND HOW ABOUT ALL THAT PLASTIC which ignites easier than magnesium car/motorcycle parts!
In the grand scheme of worry, I don't ever think about such things until a conversation like this comes up. And then.....MOVE ON. This is ridiculous.
^^^^^^^^ Great post!
This thread reminds me of the people that worry themselves sick about propane. Oh my God, I have a fuel in a tank that can catch fire or blow up! NS, LOL.
When I ask about the 25 gallons of the liquid fuel they carry in their TV I can see their blank stare?
Beside, magnesium is harmless compared to zinc. Look at what zinc can do!!! Now anything that can do that is VERY DANGEROUS!! :B
This made me LOL. :D
