Burns at lower temperatures, flares up with less oxygen and methanol continues to burn after all flames have been extinguished!

Excellent post!

I'd forgotten about this thread languishing here in obscurity. I saw a 45 minute YouTube video a while back, which showed the odd behaviour of liquids and a little bit about fire in zero G. Fascinating stuff.

Yeah that's lush. NASA even made a video about eggs in reduced gravity lol. I forgot about that but after this thread now I found it again
