Service Manual Flammability Three components are needed simultaneously for causing fire: 1. Oxygen 2. Ignition source and 3. The flammable concentration of HC For ignition, the concentration of HC in air has to be between the lower and upper flammable limits. If the concentration is below the lower flammability limit (LFL) of about 2% by volume in air, there is not enough HC for combustion.
