separate by detonate

[Kruleworld]

in building this rocket i forgot to include a decoupler and the engine just burns inside the fuselage. Should the engine damage the tank below it, by detonating it?

It'd be a bit of a low tech, albeit incorrect, way of separating before they come available in the science tree.

If you can make the parts underneath overheat, then it is possible (infact easy with solid-fuel booster). In real life though you would have a ka-boom as the exaust and flame wouldnt have anywhere to go.

However I currently don't have any ideas...
