[quote=backbeach]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....[/quote

thats true of deisel fuel and you can throw a lit cigarette into it and it will go out.... but i think gas would explode....
but it reminds me of this smart young kid in mexico...at the diesel fuel station....
the guy ahead of me yells to the kid in spanish in a mean voice..
yenno me tanka .... orita! (fill my tank now! ) translated
then the prick goes inside the building...
so the kid gets instant revenge and climbs underneath this guys truck and starts filling up every nook and cranny he can find with diesel fuel as i pretended to look the other way...
he musta loaded ten gallons under there and then jumps back out and quickly sticks the nozzle in the tank just before the guy comes out
and makes him pay for all of it.... and the guy drives off with diesel leaking all over the place much to my amusement....which will get you busted at the border...ahh ha ha ha....
so true
