Its not real but i think the black smoke help us distinguish the harmless fuel leak from the dangerous fuel tank leak (in theory :wink: )


That black smoke comes when somebody shoot ur oilpipes broken, so oil starts to smoke when it streams to hot engine...


This completely ignores the fact that you can have had the engined feathered for several minutes and the tempurate be below the ignition point of oil and have no spark (ie, engine feathered, no shots fired) and the black smoke will ignite....

Oh, and I can think of at least one "Myth" the Mythbusters "busters" and had to then retract in the face of RL evidence....hardly a credible source.
