This page provides a step-by-step guide for creating a gasoline explosion simulation using Chaos Phoenix for 3ds Max.

## **Overview**

> 
> This is an Entry Level tutorial which requires no previous knowledge of Phoenix. A basic understanding of 3ds Max would be helpful but is not a prerequisite for being able to follow along.

> - The video is created using Phoenix 3.0, but the text version of the tutorial is updated and uses Phoenix 4.30 Official. In any case of doubt you may refer to the text.
> 
> - Another way to create a Gasoline Explosion is to use the newer and improved version of the Gasoline Explosion Toolbar Quick Setup preset which is included in the Nightly Builds since 16 Sep 2020.

In the following steps we will show how to create a gasoline explosion simulation with the Phoenix Gasoline Explosion Preset.

After that we will explain how to set the simulation manually step-by-step for greater flexibility and control.
