Innate Attack (burning) VS. Car Gas tank

Page 433 covers Making Things Burn.

Realistically I think an engine is Resistant, in which case you're looking at prolonged contact to ignite it. So for every 10 seconds of contact you roll 3d6 and it catches on 6 or less (at 1 point damage per second) or 16 or less (at 3 points damage per second).

If you want Rule Of Cool, make it Flammable, in which case 3 points sees it go up.

I don't know how long it takes to set fire to a car engine but 1d6 burn is slightly more than a fire of normal intensity (1d6-1) so 10 seconds doesn't sound crazily unrealistic.
