Terry Pratchett already sorted it out; it's a little bit of a creative interpretation I guess but my reading of "Men at Arms" was that it is hypergolic fuel and oxidizer in two separate belly chambers and then they spray the two together and it ignites immediately in air. Like fireflies or bombardier beetles they just make the right stuff that they need.

Apparently terry prachett and I think alike lmao
I always thought dragons would have two seperate pressurized liquids (maybe a fuel + oxidizer combo) that form a combustion reaction upon mixing similar to the bombardier beetle
Original article without all the giant ad interruptions.
That looks like an interruption.
You should use uBlock Origin anyway, for your own safety. Ads is one of the biggest vector for malware these days.
I do, that's why I thought that site was less ad-riddled. I didn't even get that pop up.
