Film it. Sell the footage. Get megarich. Invest in some shares. Buy OcUK and then chillax for the rest of your life.

Would it not have evaporated off her by now like so it wouldn't be that flammable?

He said he recorded footage on his mobile phone but police had now taken it off him.

I bet he was going to post it on youtube.

Indeed, unless she has more...

Gotta feel a bit sorry for the woman. Something bad has obviously happened in her life to make her do this..

Something bad enough for her to cause half a mile of road to be closed, many people lives disrupted and a waste of police/fire services? Very selfish of her in my opinion, much like people who jump in front of trains...

funnaye. Surely they can bust in with some fire extinguishers through the back door and get to her before she does serious damage.

Selfish maybe, but still sad.

many bad things have happened to a lot of people in their life including me, but you don't see us going round threatening to set ourselves on fire in a petrol station. besides, she's in the office, she'll cook then probably* go out.

*probably being the key word

A local nutter round here once soaked herself in petrol in her car, then realised she had no matches or lighter. I realise its cruel to laugh, but i still did. I always wondered why she didn't use the cig lighter in the car?

Would be nicer if she would torch herself somewhere where it doesn't inconvenience others though.

Cumbustion of fuel depend on whether the amount is too rich or too lean to light. In the case of petrol, there is only a small percentage at either end of the scale where it won't light. Chances are that even hours after the incident, she is still a potential walking torch.

It is petrol vapour that burns so it really depends whether it is still evaporating, and while yes she probably will still be pretty flammable, it won't be as volatile as when she first decided to douse herself in it.
