This series always suffered from a great story concept being poorly executed. This episode is perfect example with bad writing & no clue of physics. I'm trying to avoid any spoilers so I will just say, "Engine coolant isn't flammable". It's mostly water.
There have been so many logic errors throughout this series that it is board line unwatchable. Just as the story gets interesting, broken logic or incorrect physics will suck you out of the story and remind that this show is truly just low budget trash with bad acting from many of the senior actors.
I don't think anyone should write or direct a sci-fi series (or movie) without at least a high school level understanding of science.
