Best Answer

Because only the vapors from gasoline will ignite, the fuse of the molotov cocktail burns in a controlled manner like the wick of a candle, until the glass container is shattered on impact. The vapors are then released, and the molotov cocktail bursts into flames.

What are Molotov cocktails made of?

Petrol / gasoline in a bottle with a wick. The wick is usually a piece of cloth or some other absorbent material.
