note to drop back, discovering flammable substance (7,3). Because it fits I'm sure the answer is "natural gas" but can't see how. Any help much appreciated.

note = natural (i.e. not a sharp or flat)
drop = sag, back => gas

vegasmad

agree with natural gas - natural (a note which is neither flat nor sharp)
sag (drop) backwards

A natural is a musical note. To drop is to sag - back gives gas, hence natural gas
