Investigation Summary
On November 16, 2002, three employees were in the process of assembling a drag race car. The employees were testing the engine by squirting methanol into the carburetor using a dish soap type squirt bottle. While doing so, flammable vapors were allowed to accumulate. When the engine was cranked an "unconfined vapor cloud explosion" was caused, injuring all three employees, who were hospitalized with burns.
