There's no set time that you have before a car or other vehicle explodes after catching on fire.

I've seen some cars catch on fire and burn up and never explode at all and then I saw a car catch on fire and explode within 30 minutes and then one didn't explode until an hour later when the fire department finally arrived.

Yes the car was way out on a long stretch of road with no fire departments near by so it took them an hour to get there.

When your car catches on fire you need to get out of the car right away and not think twice about anything.

A car can explode within seconds or it could burn and never explode. You just never fully know when it could explode.
