If you had filmed that in FL it would have ended with the kid blowing himself up. How do you keep the flame from backing up into the tank?

this is like his 3rd mod. he started with gas (way too combustible) and switched over to diesel which takes more to ignite.

the C02 tank hanging off his back is connected to bottom of scuba tank via hole he drilled in it which pushes the diesel out controlled by a pressure valve.

honestly i'm not sure what-all he did but he was ordering parts and making trips to TSC for like 6 months while he was putting it together.

Just have to keep the tank pressurized with CO2 or something other than air. If there's no oxygen in the line to burn, you can't have a flame.

That will be great to have during the annual purge. Be sure to get the extra crispy version, though.
