[QUOTE="Mike678, post: 627075, member: 16778"] As this a safety issue , I would like to tell my story . In Coober Pedy my mate "Yugo Jack " Had a Ford or Chev . V 8 ute . 1950's It ran out of petrol, very thirsty . I was tipping some petrol from a gallon tin , down the carby , when he hit the starter .... So , I am holding a gallon tin of petrol with flames coming out of the top .... I walked away from the ute and threw the tin on the ground . I did not get any burns , very , very lucky . What I think saved me was it was a very hot day so the gallon tin was full of fumes . No petrol /air mixture to give an explosion . I still think I was very lucky not to get burnt . [/QUOTE]
