the biggest issue with petrol(gasoline) is that the fuel/air mix needs to be "right", otherwise you just get a stinky mess. Your friend could always handwave it with a take from "The Walking Dead" - the facility dealt with unpleasant materials and already had a self-destruct mechanism built in?

it was quite spectacular - a CDC facility rigged with a fuel-air bomb.

"Big badda boom" indeed!

Damn - not killing herself is fairly important. Of course, the classic scene with the protagonist walking away with a smile and not even a glance back, while, behind her, the building explodes with pieces flying everywhere...

I'm doing civil engineering at uni so I should hopefully have some things to add ( ... )

Oh that all sounds lovely... or rather, it'll be one hell of a bang - thank you!
