I don't get that, "gasoline isn't flammable, only the vapor is"; how do you handle gas without ANY vapor being present. I had a kid pumping gas into my work truck, and saw he had a lit ciggarrette resting on the island near the pump. When I asked him to put it out he gave me that same line- but with this pearl of wisdom. "I can put this out in gas, and it won't ignite- it's only the vapor thats flammable." I told him, why don't you try that after I leave, maybe I'll come visit you at Shriners Burn Institute .... Darwin was right, he ended up wrapped around a tree within a year....
