2 years ago we had 5000gal of acetone go up when the guy filling it left his phone in his pocket and got a call. I saw the security footage...you've never seen fire until you see a fire like that.
Acetone has been quite the problem, very low flash point, low initiation energy, high vapor pressure. I have seen acetone vapor set off by rubbing nomex coveralls on plexiglass. As a teenager, I used to use acetone in my zippo lighter since I had a free supply from my father's medical laboratory.
