[#ff0000][size 2]Back in the 70s I had a young salesman who loved fishing. Early one morning [rather foggy weather] as he proceeded to fill his boat tank with gas, the fumes hanging close to the ground drifted into his partically opened garage door and reached the gas hot water heater. Bang and with that the flash back blew up the boat and killed my friend. Ever since then I never, ever fill my lawn mower or other gas operated machines near my open garage door. Please practice safety first![/size][/#ff0000]
