Can you ride free on a train by getting ejected at the next station and then repeating until the destination?

There would have to be a spark, explosion, or something else to set the fuel off. Your car doesn't explode when you shut it off, nor does a tanker truck full of jet fuel filling up a plane. Both of these are just scaled down versions of a pipeline. Additionally, fuel and oil are not explosive, nor flammable in their pure state. In fact, you can extinguish a match in jet fuel under the proper conditions. The reason, unless there is a proper fuel/air mixture there can be no combustion, as combustion of a petrochemical requires oxygen. After all, an explosion is just a chemical reaction with the ignition source (i.e. flame) acting as the energy source and catalyst for the chemical reaction.
