hmmm...

It is very complicated to get your head around dynamics. you need to be familiar with fluid containers and emmiters. I had to take a damn class for this back in school. I could go into this but it would take forever. Are you familiar with dynamics? fluids and emmiters? The best way that I learned was going into the visor and selecting a pre-made explosion off of maya and dissecting it to learn how it worked.

Exactly what I what I would say, reverse engineer it.

Theres also a great plug in called overburn, its free and its pretty good for getting the basics down for you.
