Coke bottles, dry ice and water can be a lethal mix as well... Was out fishing on the Haughton River, south of Townsville, oneday, when this almighty bang occurs near the boat, and I get drenched in water. Some guys in the next boat up decided that a small amount of dry ice and river water would make exellent compounds to place together in a two litre coke bottle..

Quite impressive how far those bottles expand before they go boom!!

Given the condition the foot pump is now in after only one use I would agree (the foot pump goes back to the shop whence in came on the morrow) but given that my laptop just died an electric air compressor will have to wait.
