Okay Im sure that most of you have never seen crude oil fresh out of the ground so here it is some of the sweetest crude in the world today it ranges in color from golden honey to red that looks like transmission fluid Green even some black I put a quarter in the bottom of that glass to give you an idea on how clear it is! it also makes it some of the most dangerous to transport because of its low flash point and low boiling point example: it has a flash point of 73 degrees or lower whereas diesel fuel has a flash point of a hundred degrees or higher this is why a pipeline is the safest way to move it... just think about it were producing about a million barrels a day and it all leaves on rail cars going through your towns accidents can happen okay thats the end of your science lesson for the day
