Especially so because gasoline fumes are heavier than air, and they collect on the floor, where they can build up a nice explosive mixture of air and fuel vapor, very handy for dropped cigarettes and sparks struck off shoes, not to mention sparks from electrical connections. It's a really, really bad idea. Kerosene's better, but it stinks. Odorless mineral spirits are much better in that they don't stink at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
